From The College Freshman Ready For Summer

Here we are in the last stretch of the spring semester, which means summer is right around the corner. That also means that it can get a little challenging to focus on anything but the fact that it's almost summer. I know in my case, I'm struggling to get through the last few classes and assignments because I just can't wait for summer to start. Even though summer is that close, we have to push through the last few feet and make it to the finish line.

Being a college freshman, I know I need to be able to keep my focus on my classes and school work in order to keep my GPA up, but it's the end of the spring semester which means summer. I feel like it turns into the beginning scene of High School Musical 2, everyone tuning out the teacher, staring at the clock, and chanting "summer, summer, summer" and bursting with excitement when that final bell rang.

As difficult as it is to focus, summer is coming no matter what and we all know how important it is to keep our GPA in check. No one wants to start their summer off by finding out their grades weren't where they needed to be, and I mean do you really want to be the Troy of the group; crouched in the chair hiding because of your final grades while everyone around you is throwing their hands in the air excited for the summer? Relax, I know that's not actually what's going on, I'm just saying.

All of us will finish out the semester, I promise you summer is coming. We have to pick ourselves up, get through the last few days off classes, finish up projects,assignments, and finals, and finish strong. We're all in this together, friends.

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.
