Midterms Week As Told By Sour Patch Kids

We just recently had midterms here. Luckily, I’m here writing this article so I survived. One of the biggest things that got me through this trying time was somebody that I know I can always count on. They’ll never leave me; I can always come to them in a moment of need. No, I’m not referring to my best friend… well, they might be my best friend… I’m referring to sour patch kids. These little dudes always come in clutch for me. They know when I need a boost and they’re always there to give it to me. As I was buried in studying I realized that my situation can be comparable to that of a sour patch kid.

Professors Are Like Sour Patch Kids Sometimes

“I’m not going to try and trick you on this midterm, I promise. ”Cool, he cares.I’m going to study hard so I’m actually ready for this midterm. I go to get my midterm; every multiple choice question has choices A-F and E is always all of the above and F is always none of the above. The matching is one of those some may be used more than once or not at all deals.Thanks Professor, I’m glad you weren’t trying to throw any of us off our game here. He cares though because he graded on a curve and it saved our lives.

That Horrible Moment When You Realize You Actually Should Have Read

When it’s 2AM And Sour Patch Kids Has You Taking Your Philosophy Too Seriously

What is the meaning of life? Why do we do what we do? Are we really good people? Why am I studying for this midterm? How is it going to make me a better person? DO SOUR PATCH KIDS HAVE SOUR PATCH PARENTS? These are just a few of the questions that plague me when I’m exhausted and just don’t want to learn anymore. Never mind the fact that these are deep philosophical questions so this technically counts as productive studying, right?

Midterms Are Literally The Boring Paper-Like Cousin To Sour Patch Kids

Midterms get a bad reputation (and they probably should), but they can be sweet.It’s terrible to study for them, to take them, and sometimes to get the grade back on them… wait, where was I going with this?

Thankfully, I survived the week thanks to my sour then sweet little buddies, and like midterms week, they’re all gone.

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.
