Well, you made it. Weeks of struggle bussing with school, work, clubs, and God knows what else, are over. Now what lies ahead is a week or so of pure bliss. From a mother's touch to the stressful family outings, Kevin and his gang know exactly how this is all about to go:

The end of the semester probably has you feeling like you may explode

You are out of money, happiness, and patience. The break can't come soon enough.

And your last day of class before the break is testing you more than you need

Really? Required attendance? Today?

Seriously, finals are coming really soon and like me, you probably aren't even close to being ready

Those finals are coming like a freight train and there is absolutely no extra time or extra points to find anywhere.

But you made it so now it's time to let loose

But not too loose...because finals.

And we all know what you'll really be doing during the break

Sleeping is the best early Christmas present, hands down.

Which you'll be needing to do in order to cope with your annoying younger relatives

You're tired, bitter, and too old for their mischief. But don't be too much of a Scrooge, because you know better than anyone else that childhood is a forgotten wonder that your 18 credit hours have stolen from you.

And God forbid you have to take them with you on your family outings to holiday shop


Just don't take it out on the customer service employees. They have to deal with it too, but on top of everyone else's kids that walk terrorize their store.

But on the chance you get to go alone with your mom's credit card...

Nothing feels better than shopping with a checking account with more than $1.50 in it.

But you're barely an adult at this point so you know you don't really belong at the store on your own

And all the people from your hometown constantly remind you of that.

Not to mention being home again makes you feel like it's ok to be 10 again

From getting you extra blankets during your afternoon naps and bringing you snacks, moms make it hard to go back to the real world.

Even though that's probably not for the best

Ok so try not to take too much advantage of the whole, "kid" thing. An 18 year old jumping on the bed is a little silly. Even though you totally tried it.

And during your last few days of break, you'll be constantly reminded by your parents of your impending doom.

I know break is over soon mom. No reminder please.

Cause back at school, you'll be feeling a lot of this

A whole lot of struggle bus.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
