6 A.M. - BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

6:01 A.M. - If I just pretend to be dead, will I be able to miss work today?

6:02 A.M. - BEEEP BEEEP!

6:03 A.M. - You win this one alarm.

6:05 A.M. - Alright, teeth brushed, makeup, do I want to try a new look today?

6:08 A.M. - That looks HORRIBLE, why do I ever think to attempt wings? Ah, Alexis used my last makeup wipe, great.

6:10 A.M. - That catastrophe is over. Clothes need to go on body.

6:15 A.M. - Should I just accept my hair is always going to be a mess?

6:25 A.M. - Uber says the ride is coming, but there is no driver. Am I going to be late for work again? Why does Uber play with my heart this way?

6:28 A.M. - WHAT IF THE UBER NEVER COMES AND THEY HATE ME THERE? Oh, wait there we go, the guy is 19 minutes away, coolio.

6:29 A.M. - Food? I'm thinking food. Or do I bring it with me? Or do I get something from the vending machine? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

6:31 A.M. - Did I put deodorant on?

6:32 A.M. - Now I did.

6:35 A.M. - Now to sit and stare at the wall. My favorite pastime. Do you think they would make a competitive sport out of it? Usually, when I'm tired, wall staring is pretty much what I do in order to wake up in the morning. It's great, especially because our wall paper has this flower pattern. But it isn't even, so pretty much, you spend like 20 minutes trying to figure out the pattern.

6:48 A.M. - Ah, Uber is outside.

6:49 A.M. - Hello, how are you today? Good good. Oh, we're listening to Christian Rock today? Okay cool, I'm just going to tap on my phone for the entire duration of this ride.

6:50 A.M. - Hmm, I know that Jimmy is sound asleep right now. Let me mass text him.

6:51 A.M. - "Good morning cutie, what if Cthulhu is really just one of the giant squid that people started to spot while in the deep sea?"

6:52 A.M. - "What if we're really in the Matrix, but they made that movie so that people would think it is fiction, thus stopping people from staying woke?"

7:15 A.M. - Ah traffic, love it. So many people just mindlessly driving to work. Oh wait, I'm one of them.

7:20 A.M. - Okay, this is absolutely the worst. Bumper to bumper, where's the bridge, ah I just want some coffee in my system, why is that so hard to ask for? Is it Friday yet? Oh, wait no it's Monday, man I am beat.

7:24 A.M. - THE BEN FRANKLIN BRIDGE IS SCENIC. I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PHILLY SKYSCRAPERS IN THE DISTANCE, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY PRETTY.

7:34 A.M. - Thank you very much, have a nice day! Maybe if I get hit by one of the trailers, I can go home early.

7:35 A.M. - Alright, time to just quickly clock in, no big deal. *FINGER SCAN FAILED* Damn it.

7:37 A.M. - Good morning, everyone!

7:38 A.M. - C O F F E E!

7:39 A.M. - I need this to kick in like right now. OH WAIT, MY STREAKS!

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.
