Let's face it, the first few weeks of the semester are the easiest in every way possible. While you're reuniting with friends you haven't talked to since last semester, it's pretty easy to forget about all of the things that stressed you out. As of right now, everything seems to be going great! If you are experiencing any of the following, you're still in the honeymoon phase of the semester.

1. You would consider yourself to be "organized" or "on top of your work"

At this point in time, it is likely that you are yet to be up to your eyeballs in readings and papers. If anything, you've had a few short assignments that you were about to complete while sitting through a lecture in another class. Odds are you're still using your calendar as well.

2. You haven't skipped class yet

Why skip class now? Sure, the lectures may be dry and attendance may not be required, but you are determined to change your ways for the better this semester! At least, that's what you say now. Let's see if this is still the case by finals.

3. Naps aren't part of your daily schedule

Sine your workload is pretty light at this point, all-nighters at the library haven't entered their way into your life, making naps unnecessary. Also at this point, coffee is sufficient in case you don't get as many hours of sleep as you would like.

4. You're not completely broke yet

Right now, you still have those couple of extra dollars to spend on going out to eat with friends. You might even have enough money to buy a new T-shirt for game day! Enjoy it while it lasts! In about a month, I'm sure we'll all be collecting all of the change at the bottom of our bags to see if we have enough money to get a small coffee.

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.

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?
