A sorry "until next week" article.

I came back from visiting my home today. I got in the dorm, took out the trash and the recyclables. I decided I wanted to sleep on clean sheets and stripped my bed, replacing the white ones with my favorite jersey ones. I went downstairs and started 4 loads of laundry. I even filled my essential oil diffuser with peppermint oil to make the room smell like a candy cane.

I put on comfy clothes and sat down to write on my computer. After staring at the screen for 10 minutes I decide it would be better to clean the bathroom, just while I'm on my cleaning kick. I finished before I needed to switch around the laundry and found myself back in front of this blank screen. The cursor blinked, waiting for me to pour my brain onto the page, and I was stuck. So eventually I decided to write this down and just see where it headed. Well, I have this written now, and after some thought, I have decided to submit it.

Today was the day I realized I was fresh out of ideas to write about.


My mind has been filled with worries, and school, and other time-consuming things, and I'm running to catch up. You know life, it has to be stressful sometimes.


Today I also realized that my imagination is boundless.


I really need to focus and get my crap together, because I don't have the time to fall behind. Life is something I am planning to succeed at.

Basically, I am writing this to let you know that I am behind, but you can look forward to a better story next week. Hopefully, a really good one.

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.
