The Love Hate Relationship With Guilty Pleasures

As much as you’d want to deny it, we all love things that sometimes we probably shouldn’t. While in the moment you may be loving it, that next hour or day you definitely have some regrets.

1. Binge Watching Netflix

Yep, we’ve all done. Whether you should be sleeping, studying, or even in class you think to yourself, “I need to watch the next episode” and so... you do.

2. The Sweet Tooth

You’re supposed to be eating healthily this week but when you’re friends want to go get ice cream, you find it hard to refuse.

3. Going Out

It’s a Thursday and you might have a test or paper due the next day, but all your friends are going out and just can’t wait one more night until Friday. FOMO is your biggest fear.

4. Buying Clothes

You already seem to have so many rompers, but you just can’t resist. Even your bank account is telling you no, but you find a way to make it happen. Only to realize once you get home that you already have one very similar.

5. Social Media

Do you really care about 700+ people’s pictures or snap stories that you probably don’t know very well? You tell yourself no but somehow it’s the first thing you find yourself doing every morning... as well as any other free time... or study time.

If you resist these five – congrats, you’re doing better than me. For everyone else, don’t worry, I’m right there with you :-)

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.
