Parks And Finals Week

"I don't know what I'm doing..."

Parks And Finals Week
NBC

For many freshmen like myself, our first university level finals week is just around the corner. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally am terrified for what's to come over the next few weeks before winter break starts. From midnight due dates to ridiculous procrastination, pulling all-nighters to cramming a semester's worth of work into a day, there's a lot going on. What better to show that than the masters of disaster at the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department? Here are some feelings that I'm certain will be familiar to first-year freshmen as finals approach.

1. Checking Canvas expecting to see a 27 but you actually have a 92.

2. The day after you pull an all-nighter.

3. When the Five-Hour Energy hits.

4. When you've got an oral presentation in front of the whole class.

5. Eating your anxiety away.

6. When you remember a midnight deadline at 11:55.

7. When you finish your first exam and walk out of the lecture hall.

8. When the stress and the flu hit at the same time but you have a test to take.

9. When you get to leave the class you hated all semester for the last time.

10. Getting together a study group for a class everyone is failing, but knowing you'll fail together.

11. When you have to do all the work on a group project final.

12. When you think you totally aced a final but you completely flunked it.

13. Trying to study when your phone keeps buzzing.

14. Trying to be positive through the last few days of finals week.

15. And finally, the day after finals are blessedly over and winter break begins.

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.
