5 Things To Do During Winter Break

At long last, finals are over. No more term papers, assignments, group projects, or exams, instead just the glorious freedom and possibilities for winter break. Of course, everything has to end so you better plan out your must-do activities accordingly. Here are five things to do during winter break.

1. Sleep

Let's face it: you deserve it. Not to mention, you've probably deprived yourself of a good night's sleep. So enjoy those extra z's while you can!

2. Eat Healthier

After all those study sessions chugging coffee, sipping energy drinks and eating chips, it's time to eat better. Take the time to cook or go searching for a home- cooked meal. Your New Year's resolution might thank you for avoiding take-out.

3. Catch Up On TV shows

It seems you've been pushing off TV shows this whole month. Well, now it's time for TV shows marathons and binge-watching. No judgment, just tons of fun. The time to study is over.

4. See Your Family

Winter break is the perfect time for group hugs. Remember how much you missed your family at the beginning of the semester? Or how about how much you missed them during exams? They missed you too. Enjoy the holiday's at home with your family and the family pet of course.

5. Go Out With Friends

As great as making new friends was at college, it's time to go out with your day one's. You may all be far a part, but winter break is the best time to come together. You've been dreaming of this reunion for ages now, passing back messages about awesome plans for winter break. So go have fun! Go out to dinner, ice-skating, bowling, or even just a movie date. Either way, have a stellar winter break and a happy new year!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
