February Has Nothing Going For It

We are all in a February funk...

February is the worst month of the year. Sorry if your birthday is February or you are some weirdo who's favorite holiday is Presidents Day or Valentine's Day, but I am pretty sure everyone is in a February funk right now. It might be the shortest month of the year but it feels unbearably long. February is like the friend you don't invite anywhere but she comes anyway and you just roll your eyes and ignore her. February is like your cousin who you only see on Christmas and your conversation doesn't ever seem to go past elevator talk. So what I am trying to say is that every other month has something going for it except sucky February.

In January, winter break just ended and you are ready to get back to school. You haven't broken your New Years Resolution yet, you're still a fan of the snow, and winter is at its peak.

February, we will get back to you.

March: It's the month of Spring Break. How could you not be excited? Also, Saint Patrick's day is in March and honestly if you don't like wearing green and drinking green rivers and going to the parade and eating potatoes and corn beef and celebrating as my Dad would say, "our Irish heritage and that potato famine that really hurt our ancestors..." Okay, Dad. But anyways... Spring is on the horizon. March is cool. I'm a fan.

April has Easter! The holiday that invented Brunch. I love Brunch. Yum. Also, you are on the home stretch. Second semester is on it's way to a close and you are feeling good. Spring has sprung, you finally get to put away your winter clothes, and it's so pretty outside :)

May: I MAY be biased. Haha. Punny. But May is my birth month. So obviously it's the best month because we get to celebrate me! Also, school is over and summer has started. What could be better than that? Nothing. Nothing is better than summer.

June: Summer is in full swing. That's literally all I need to say. People, every month of summer is a good month.

July: Also summer... Yay! And the Fourth of July! Who doesn't like fireworks? And BBQ's and summer. Wow. Kinda wishing it was July right now...

August: Summer is coming to a close but you are ready at this point. The weather is still fan- f**ing- tastic, and you can't wait to start that next year of college. You have been home for just too long at this point. Also, the beginning of the school year is always the best.

September: Fall is starting, the leaves are changing, and it's only a little chilly :). Omg. You are making the change from summer clothes to fall clothes. It's a nice time. You are still feeling good.

October: Halloween people! Halloween! And it's like completely fall at this point and the leaves are falling, yadda yadda.

November: Thanksgiving is legit. Food is prime, the weather is still pretty okay. Honestly, Thanksgiving is in the running for being my favorite holiday. It's so chill. And Black Friday deals ;) Also, you have a good break from school this month and you are in the final stretch of first semester.

December: CHRISTMAS. Presents. Hanukkah as well. Whatever you celebrate, December is full of the best holidays. If you go to my school you get a full month off and you literally don't have to do anything. No complaints. Keep doing you December.

So if you can't tell by now, February is the goddamn worst but we all are going through it together people. It's only 29 days. Don't worry it will be over soon and your funk will be gone. Before we know it, it will be March and we will all be happy and on Spring Break. :)

Also, I think February is trying to step up their game with this spring weather it's giving us. Good try, Feb. Good try.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
