"I can do what I want." -Ron

Finals Week As Told By Ron Swanson
BDCwire

Finals week is upon me, though it may be weeks away from you. Ron Swanson is still crazy relatable no matter what context.

1. When you remember to eat all three meals in one day

Or even one meal, for that matter. I'm considering setting a timer on my phone to tell me to eat lunch and dinner.

2. When you are so overwhelmed but realize that breaking down shows that you are giving in to weakness

Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show.

3. When a professor asks what your favorite part of the semester was in their GE class

Nobody wants to be in a GE class. Why would we enjoy anything about it.

4. When you have to decode what a professor is trying to have you write for an essay prompt

Of course being a mental processor does not help when writing an essay in the matter of a final class period, but it gives you a chance to make of it what you want to.

5. When you have fallen ill but do not want to accept your fate

Ain't nobody got time for that.

6. When your love for meat and protein is strong

Vegan bacon. Why would you even think of such a thing. I need meat to give me energy for the day.

7. When you feel like you have done all the studying you can

I will tell myself when I know all that I am supposed to know.

8. When a friend presents you with a gift (preferably coffee)

Tears of joy from feeling loved are justifiable.

9. When you failed to notice that your study music has changed over the past few days

Although, sometimes nature sounds are better to study to than lyrical music.

10. When you realize how you were able to cope with a class you did not like all semester

Wanting to get a good grade in a class and then never having to take it again is actually a great way to work. Plus, you can tear apart the class and the professor in the class evaluation.

11. When you turn in your last final of the semester

It is finished. It is all turned in. It is done. The end.

12. When someone tells you that everything will be okay when, in fact, everything will not be okay

Don't you dare give me a hug if you don't understand the same pain I'm going through.

13. When all you want to do is eat food and study

Study sessions are wonderful, but lots of people can be a distraction.

14. When your professor says that the final period is not required

Not mandatory? Okay, I'll spend my time sleeping or studying for another final.

15. And, finally, when everything is done and you see the mess you've made

I believe the word I have written on my whiteboard at the end of everything is "DIE".

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
