My thoughts of the week, collected and written out.

Sitting outside on this beautiful Sunday morning, I remember the pizza I ate yesterday and weep into my coffee. For those who were unaware, at the beginning of my semester here I chose to abolish dairy and some other unhealthy things from my diet, and it has truly worked wonders for me. Now, I won't say it was not a challenge. To be honest, i never consumed high amounts of dairy beforehand, but the only thing that I find myself missing is cheese. Which is why I usually allow myself a cheat day where I indulge in a little something every now and then. This usually happens around every two weeks or so, however it has come two days in a row this week, and I am really feeling the after effects of it. I am sitting sluggishly, and hating myself for consuming the amount of pizza that I consumed with my friend over the past few days. However, I know it will be alright. I will power through this last week of class ahead, and stick strictly to my diet, and finish strong so that I may continue when I go home.

Anyways, enough about my eating habits. Something else I found myself wondering this week was how fast my first semester of college has gone. There is already only one week of class left. I have eight classes to attend before i move it, and that feels so good. I am ready to be home and working to make up some of the money I spent this semester, and save for next year. It has been a great semester, but this four month break could not come at a better time.

I wish everyone reading this luck on their last week of classes, and exams right after that! Now get out and enjoy the sun, it's supposed to rain most of this last week anyway.

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.
