If you're stressed over anything, here are twelve fun holidays you probably knew about to take your mind off it!

1. Put On Your Own Shoes Day - December 6th

Whoever came up with this day was obviously salty about someone stealing their shoes. Obviously, since this day makes no sense, there's not a good meme and I'm sorry.

2. Toothache Day - February 9th

Why is this a thing? Just why?

3. Take Your Houseplants/Pants On A Walk Day - July 27th

Yes, you read that right.. July 27th has two bizarre holidays! So, go on and walk those plants (and pants).

4. Punch The Clock Day - January 27th

When I heard of this, I literally pictured this meme in my head of someone punching a clock; however, this is literally a day where you get snacks at work. I was disappointed, and now you are too.

5. Monkey Around Day - June 14th

This holiday was created to get rid of your stress and relax.

6. Babbling Day - October 21st

We all have that friend that never stops talking, well this day is for them.

7. Look Up at the Sky Day - April 14th

It's not like you have anything better to be doing, give the sky some attention.

8. Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day - August 8th

In case you're like me and didn't know what zucchini was, here's a cat video to explain. Now that you know, go ahead and sneak some over to your neighbor's house.

9. If Pets Had Thumbs Day - March 3rd

Imagine what it'd be like if your cat or dog or even fish had thumbs.... can't do it? Yeah, me either.

10. Be Late For Something Day - September 5th

Now this is a holiday I can celebrate!

11. Dance Like A Chicken Day - May 14th

This is a day for all of you that peaked in elementary school, go show off those dance moves!

12. Hoodie Hoo Day - February 20th

So this day was designed so people can overcome Winter and get ready for Spring.

And these are only 12 of the days. If you google "weird holidays" you can find so many strange days you never knew existed. I came across this website and it was pretty entertaining.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
