Finals week is here and everyone is stressing. Study sessions are more common and a lack of meal swipes is a thing. Everyone goes through different stages of emotional distress throughout the week, and everyone experiences there problematic situations differently. Here are just a few Gifs to explain the different stages and situations that occur during the weeks of finals from one of my favorite movie series, "Lord Of The Rings".


1. When you've been studying for five hours straight, haven't eaten, and are on the verge of your 3rd emotional breakdown of the day, and someone tries to talk to you.

We all know that feeling when we're so miserable and we don't want any human interaction and we just want to sit and cry alone.


2. When you've run out of meal swipes and are trying to think of foods that will sustain you without having to pay a lot.

Luckily my school does both meal swipes and what's called "dining dollars", so we have two options for types of dining halls we eat at. But when you run out of even one out of the two, you start to ration any food in your dorm and only buy food at the store if absolutely necessary.


3. Trying to go into finals with a positive attitude.

We don't want to do finals, but sulking and being miserable won't make it any better.


4. When all your friends are done with finals and you're here until the last day.

I feel so bad for all the people that will still be at school taking finals after I'm done with my last final.


5. The feeling you get when you see your professor has brought in food for the final.

Best part about having fun teachers is that they bring food to the final exam because they know finals are terrible.


6. The look you give someone when you're finally done with their crap.

It's a sensitive time to begin with, but there are just certain people that say stupid things around finals week, and one little thing will set people off.


7. When you look at a question on your exam and think you know it but then second guess yourself.

I'm such an over-thinker so if I'm not completely sure of an answer I second guess myself so much during exams.


8. Feeling like death from lack of sleep and knowing you look and feel like a zombie.

We all know the feeling of being dead and just being a walking zombie.


9. The look everyone gives the first student who passes in their final.

We all know they're either a genius or failed the crap out of that test.


10. The feeling you get when you finally finish your last final.

Last final done I'm peace-ing out and going home and sleeping for the rest of the day.


11. When you are finally driving home for break.

The sweet satisfaction of finally going home after being done with the semester.

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.

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.
