Why I Don't Want To Write This Week
Shyanne White

If you haven't realized by now that every single week I publish an article, just take my word for it. I do. Every week I have to think of something to write about. Something I hope many people will read, but not many do. Something I actually put my effort into, but see no reward in. That's why, this week, I submitted my article late. This isn't something I normally do. I'm usually very good about meeting deadlines, but this week was crazy busy, and writing was my last priority. Maybe some of you can relate to this. Maybe some of you really weren't feeling that English paper that was assigned two weeks ago and is now due tomorrow. Or maybe you don't. You see no reward. So here you are. Here are some reasons maybe both you and I didn't want to write this week.

1. You have other work to do that is more important.

2. Everything is piling up, and you're simply overwhelmed.

3. Finals, duh.

4. You enjoy doing other things, too.

5. You physically had no time to sit down and brainstorm of things to write.

6. You forgot.

7. You're too stressed.

8. You feel like your effort isn't going to be recognized, and that hurts.

9. You have a life.

10. You literally cannot think of something to say.

11. Who's actually going to read it?

12. Will anyone actually care?

13. Why do you need a reason?

14. Your computer decided to hate you.

15. Just because, OK?

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.
