Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

High levels of swagger and high motivation coming through.

2. But all of that changes when you find someone in your favorite study spot

Wait, are you kidding me?

3. When you finally sit down (you had to resort to your third favorite spot) and check your to-do list like

SOS. I regret this decision.

4. When your grades are in but you're too afraid to press the button to check

Would I like to ruin my day or nah?

5. When you're working on a group project and trying to get everyone on the same page like

Let's try and keep up, people.

6. And then there's always that one genius in your group where you're just like

I trust you to lead us on the journey to more success.

7. When you and your group members finish your group project and pray it's good enough

Maybe if we all send positive thoughts we won't fail.

8. When prospective student tours go through the library and you're trying to act like you have your life together, but in reality

Not tryna freak you out but I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown right now. LOOK AWAY.

9. When you're really hungry but also really tired so eating looks a little something like this

It only missed my mouth by a little okay??

10. When you convince everyone in the group chat to join you at the lib so they can suffer through studying with you

God bless you all.

11) But by the time they get there it's too late

It's been nice knowing you fam.

12. When you and your friends said you were going to take a quick study break but end up too far gone in the depths of the internet.

We have passed the point of no return. :/

13. When the people next to you are being really loud

Just because it's nicknamed club lib doesn't mean you have to act like it's one. :/

14. When you're on your second cup of coffee and the caffiene is still not kicking in

"I hate Mondays."

15. When you finally decide to leave for the night like

Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
