I Managed to Survive All the Writing

I wrote a piece earlier ranting about what I had to look forward to. Here's the result.

I Managed to Survive All the Writing

If you read my previous article about how I will be a husk of a human by then end of my week of hell, congrats. This article, if it can be called that, is just my confirming that I am indeed still alive. I am more than a simple husk too. I finished all my papers and took my exams this week. All met with hopefully moderate success.

As I type this up I am on my way home sitting shotgun in the car. I am tire, and have nearly succumbed to sweet sleep multiple times. This morning I woke up with a cold on top of this paper writing induced exhaustion. But I'm still kicking and that's all that matters.

The point of this article is...well there really is no point. I'm fried. I can't come up with anything. All I'm looking forward to is walking through the door and being greeted by the cat's and dogs. Tonight is also Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency season finale. Tomorrow it goes live on Netflix. But I've been watching every week and need to see how this ends. I look forward to season 2 later next year. Back to my no ideas though. I am literally so done. This semester's end was just hell. If anyone ever tries to say a SSHA major has nothing to complain about I'd like them to write a thesis. Or write a paper on the Gothic aspects of a 20th or 21st century text. Fight me!

Anyways, I just have one more semester to go before I'm done as an undergrad. I'm applying to graduate school now and hoping to get in. My prospects look good though so I'm not all that worried. So yeah, I thought I'd just check in and tell anyone who's read my stuff that I am still alive. I don't know if there will be anything of interest in the coming weeks to write about as I'm officially on break. But who knows? I'll come up with something. I usually do.

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.
