The most stressful week of the year has finally arrived. If you're anything like me, you're currently taking a well-deserved study break to scroll through your Facebook feed. Three months of studying all leads up to this fateful week, and Lord knows we could use a breather from the mind-blowing amount of information we've been cramming into our brains. No worries, Kevin McCallister knows your pain.

It's finals week, so basically everyone on campus is doing this, including you.

Your bad grades just seem to creep up out of nowhere.

And you don't know how you're going to survive the upcoming exam...

...until your professor reminds you that it isn't cumulative.

Late night cram sessions and lack of sleep hit you hard...

...and when your friend suggests another coffee or food run, you are so braindead it takes a bit to process what they just said.

And then there's that one friend who had the most amazing finals schedule, they can't help but rub it in your face when they leave 4 days before you.

When the time has arrived for your first exam, start to freak out a little bit...

...until you remember how hard you studied, and you realize "I got this".

And when you see your friend after the exam, you can't help but be all sentimental that your time together is over and you both survived that crummy class.

Near the end, you're so mentally drained, you have basically just given up on showing emotion altogether.


And you're just so grateful you no longer have to spend any time doing homework on WileyPlus, Connect, or OWL.

Miraculously, you've made it to the day of your last exam okay.


And when you walk out of that last exam, you give your professor a final look...

...knowing that a wonderful winter break full of endless Netflix binging awaits.

Ahh, sweet freedom.

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?
