Well, it's finals week. The week of hell that nobody in college ever looks forward to. And you know what? I can't wait for it to be over. Because I cannot WAIT to get home! A month with my family - what could be better? Not much!

Here's why I am so excited!

1. I get to see my parents and my brother

I know that I basically saw them all about two weeks ago, but I am ready to see my family. After a stressful week, a hug from mom, dad, even my brother, would be very welcome right now. They are my support system, and I can't wait to be back with them again!

2. Extended Family!

Instead of driving home right away, I am going to visit my grandmother and help wrap her Christmas presents before going home. I also get to go up to Maine and celebrate Christmas with my dad's family, which is super exciting. I get to see family that I haven't seen in a while, and that always warms my heart after a stressful end to the semester.

3. Food, glorious food!

I get to each actual human food made by me or my dad or my mom or any other family! I am so ridiculously excited for real food, not school food, that I know this is one of the main reasons I love going home!

4. Absolutely no homework!

This is the month where I don't have to worry about doing ANYTHING! No school work, no assigned reading, no notes, no presentation or project to work on. I love the freedom of doing absolutely nothing!


Winter break is almost upon us! You can get tuhrogh this week, then enjoy a month away from school! See you next semester!

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.
