If you're a part of Greek Life, then you should know that it's our favorite time of the semester... Formal season. No matter if you're going to Gatlinburg, Chicago, Canada, or just staying in your own city, you're basically guaranteed a good time. But the week/weeks before formal can be so stressful.

First off, who are you going to go with?

Debating between going with a friend or asking the boy you've been crushing on can be a really hard decision. If you are really struggling to find a date, you might just have to suck it up and get set up.

What are you going to wear?

Time to go shopping! Or online shopping. But you can't forget about the mental breakdown you have when the Tobi dress you ordered doesn't fit you in any of the right places. But then you remember that you have 200 more closets to choose from.

Now that you have a dress, you need to be able to fit into it.

It just hit you that you only have a week to get skinny and be able to fit into that super tight dress you're going to wear. Shoot... Who said crash-dieting doesn't work?

Making a cooler.

Do I really have to make a cooler? This can be stressful especially for those who aren't exactly artistic, but all I can say is thank god for Pinterest.

Time to get ready.

Blast your Beyonce, turn on your curling iron, and start putting your makeup on girlfriend. Go get ready for the night.

Now we can't forget about taking a good Instagram.

It might take a million tries but you're determined to get a good picture. I mean if you don't post a cute pic, did you even go to formal?

And now you remember... there's food.

You know you're going to be eating for the first 20 minutes of formal. Free drunk food. What's better than that?

More drinks.

Did I just hear shots? Even though you just pregamed your whole bottle and you probably don't need any more drinks, you make your way over to the bar anyways. Drink up!

Let's hit the dance floor.

Now that you got some more drinks in you, you can't wait to show off the dance moves that you've been practicing at Bullwinkles.

Your feet start to kill and you wonder why you wore such tall heels.

After four hours, you start to regret those shoes you decided on, but then remember how good you look. Pain is beauty, ladies. Just make your date carry you down high street and you'll be fine.

Bed time?

Now, props to you if you make it out to the bars after formal. You're a real trooper. Rally on!

The morning after.

Time to recap your night with all your best girls. And of course you can't forget to check everyone's snapchats. Well, now formal is over, and you can't wait for next year's formal season!

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.
