For Everyone That Didn't Go On A Spring Break Trip

Words from a girl who experiences a new outlook on spring break.

This year I didn't go on a spring break trip. I thought I wouldn't be bitter but I am actually. The weather sucks this year and it's been freezing for a few weeks so that makes me dread it a lot more.

Spring break is just another excuse to get wasted. Most people go to a place that's warm which I would do if I could. Going away over spring break is so much fun, as I've done it before. But getting wasted is only so much fun.

It gets boring after awhile and then you just feel terrible about yourself. I'm sure a lot of people that go on these trips blow a majority of their savings just to go out and show everyone they are having a crazy time.

I just don't understand why people are so obsessed with showing others that they are something they're not. A lot of people go on these trips just to hook up with other people which is also stupid.

If you go on a trip to sincerely get away and do something I have much more respect for you then for someone who wants to leave just for the purpose of getting drunk. But at the end of it to each his own.

If you feel good enough to get drunk over spring break then no one really can stop you. A lot of people just do it for attention which is cool if you need the validation in others. Maybe the real issue is I shouldn't be concerned about what others are doing.

Maybe others, whether they went on spring break or not, should also ask themselves if they're concerned about what others are doing.

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.

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.
