Yay! You have almost made it through 3 years of high school and now you are just counting down the days to graduation. I am sure that your parents are counting down the days until you move out for college or whatever life plan that you have for yourself. This is an exciting time because you are now the "Big Dogs" on campus and you feel like you own the school, but you should want to be the seniors that encourage the younger kids to do the right thing and not be bullying them just because you can.

You will have a lot of tough decisions to make during this next year of your life, and some of these decisions could be the biggest ones that you make in your entire life, so make them wisely. Be careful about how you make those decisions and don't let anybody else make them for you because you absolutely know what is best for you. Think about what you really want to do and find the best option for you.

Spend as much time with your family during this next year because you never know where you will end up. Spend time with your friends because you may all end up in different places next year and you don't want to go to college and lose connection with some of the greatest people in your life. Also, be there for the family members or friends who need help.

Do your very best during this next year because no matter how bad your senioritis gets, these grades will still count toward your admission to college. You still need to try and also stay involved, this is your last chance to leave a mark on your school!

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.

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.
