Hello December!

December is the last month of the year, and by no means an excuse to slow down.

Hello December!

I honestly can’t believe it’s already December of 2016. Winter is coming, Christmas is coming, Jesus is coming. So, I need to get myself ready for finals, for the wind and the snow, for the year of 2017, and for Christ.

There might be hard times that you feel like you want to let go, but please don’t. Think about how far you have gone, and don’t make that long process a waste. This is the deciding moment, finish strong.

If there’s a moment that you feel super tired, write down “This is my 30-minute of tiredness and I’m not doing anything” on a piece of paper, stick it on somewhere you can see from your bed, and go take a nap for 30 minutes.

Remember, this is 30 minutes of complete tiredness and you can’t use this time for any other activities (such as playing with your phone). Save it all for later, when you revive your energy. This is the time when all of us are busy, but don’t forget to live every day to the fullest.

Spend some time hanging out with friends, playing games, exercising, shopping, eating out, doing service, and especially praying. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with Him can help you a lot more than you can imagine.

And lastly, stay healthy. Sickness is the last thing ever wanted, because your family and friends want to see you happy, intact, and energetic!

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.
