Winter graduation is finally upon us. We've waited since the Spring Commencement for this week to get here, to get our chance to walk across the stage and get our diploma. It's the last week of undergrad and there are plenty of things still left to do...

1. Stock up on coffee and energy drinks to get through finals, projects, papers, job interviews, and everything else the week might throw at you.

2. Try not to burn your apartment down.

3. Craft your graduation cap, after procrastinating for the last few weeks.

4. Eat at all of your favorite college town restaurants.

5. Drink of choice. Celebrate! You did it!

6. Don't run out of laundry detergent.

7. Pack everything you own into boxes.

8. Find a place to live post-graduation.

9. Take a nap when it all gets too stressful.

10. Mourn for leaving your best friends.

11. Take 100 pictures.

12. Plan graduation dinner with all of your family and friends.

13. Say you are going to do all of the things you've mentioned doing throughout your senior year, but never actually following through with them.

14. Walk through campus and take it all in.

15. Check your campus mailbox.

16. Turn in parking passes and apartment keys.

17. Cry because you're leaving your home for the past four years.

18. Go through all of your pictures from undergrad. Laugh at yourself and your friends. Cry because you miss the old times, and laugh again. Reminiscing through it all.

19. Celebrate because you survived undergrad.

20. Lastly, graduate.

Now, it's time to go and celebrate because we finally did it!

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.
