Finals Week Thoughts

'Tis the season of finals week. Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 12th) begins finals week for me. I have already turned in a final paper, and I am preparing for one of my biggest finals. Yes, finals week for some people is a stressful time, however, at the end, we get 3 weeks off. Here are just some thoughts that go through my head during finals week.

1. How much coffee did I have today?

I may or may not have at least one or two cups a day. So for me, coffee is important in finals week. Having that caffeine will help me stay awake as I am finishing up studying for an exam or finishing up that paper.

2. How much sleep have I received this week?

Leading up to finals week, sometimes you are up later than expecting writing papers, cramming for exams and so on. For me, I have been realizing I haven't been getting enough sleep this week however, I do know that once break begins, I can catch up on that much-needed sleep

3. How much vlogmas have I watched?

If you watch any vloggers on YouTube, you know one thing, Vlogmas. Vlogmas is when YouTubers who vlog, vlog every day until Christmas. It's exciting to watch vlogs and it's always a nice study break as you are studying.

4. How many days until Christmas?

You might be counting down the days until Christmas or maybe even have an advent calendar. Yes, we have 14 days until Christmas, not like I'm counting down or anything. But don't forget to focus on studying for finals and not worrying how many days until Christmas.

5. How many more days until I can go home?

You also might have that thought going through your head as well. How many finals do I have left and when can I go home? Just focus on studying, preparing and giving it your all and then you will realize that it's the day you are going home

These are just some thoughts that I have going through my head during finals week. To all of you, good luck on your finals. I know you will do well. Study hard and know that the hard work pays off.

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 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?
