Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

I'm rich! I'm rich! Well, for like eight days.

Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

Pay day can be the best day, but the rest of the month can be a bit of a struggle. When you get paid, you're on top of the world and can do any buy anything. The only problem is, you buy everything and then you end up eating peanut butter sandwiches for the last two weeks of the month.

1. Going Out

Pay Day: We should do this every night. We're never going home.

The Rest of the Month: You guys go on without me, I'm going to sit at home drinking water.

2. Shopping

Pay Day: Oh my gosh, I can get all those things I've been wanting all month. Let's hit three malls and all the stores and the outlets.

The Rest of the Month: Window shopping is a lot less fun than it sounds.

3. Getting Gas

Pay Day: Full tank! I'm going to get all the gas.

The Rest of the Month: And $5.00 even. That should last me for the week, right?

4. Eating Out

Pay Day: Let's go somewhere with table clothes and candles and eat steak!

The Rest of the Month: They have a dollar menu right?

5. Groceries

Pay Day: I need fresh produce and organic, grass fed meat and name-brand cereal.

The Rest of the Month: Kraft is how much?! *Grabs Great Value mac-n-cheese*

6. Makeup

Pay Day: Sephora, Sephora, Sephora.

The Rest of the Month: Physician's Formula is pretty much the same thing.

7. Toilet Paper

Pay Day: *buys all the Charmin you can carry*

The Rest of the Month: *steals the one-ply toilet paper from the work bathroom*

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.
