Sometimes I Wish I Could Be Irresponsible...

Just to be carefree... and watch a lot of Netflix.

If I could just not care about what happens in my life... everything would be a whole lot easier. I wouldn't be in college... I would do the bare minimum to get by and do whatever the hell I wanted... Sometimes that sounds so nice. I would love to just have one whole month where I wouldn't have to go to work, I wouldn't have homework, I wouldn't have to leave my room. A whole month with no rehearsals, no commitments. Just being able to do nothing for awhile and not having to feel guilty about it. As I type all of this out my mind begins to relax a little bit. It sounds AMAZING.

Lately my life has been so chaotic and so stressful that quitting sounds like a damn near perfect plan. No homework? Sleeping in? Dare I say being able socialize every once in awhile? That sounds pretty cool to me. That and the overwhelming amount of time that I would have to watch Netflix... it sounds pretty dang awesome.

But as amazing as all that may sound, would I actually be happy? Could someone find meaning in a life like that? Could anyone actually SUCCESSFULLY live a life like that? It makes me wonder..

But the important thing to realize is that if you have never had a thought like this... you may not be human. So keep fantasizing about a life with no responsibilities. And take every opportunity that you can to try and recoup from your crazy life every once in awhile.

But also don't forget to: (if you're me)

Go to EVERY class, do your homework, go to rehearsal, go to job number 1, go to job number 2, keep your room clean (okay, maybe just livable), feed your bunny, pay your bills, find time to eat, find time to sleep (when you're not working 3rd shift, going to class, going to a rehearsal, going to job number 2, or doing your homework), call your family and tell them you love them, shower more than twice a week... oh and breathe. Breathing is good.

Those are pretty much the bare essentials, for me anyways. But for the rest of you who have taken enough interest in my article title, JUST DO YOU. and sometimes, just do nothing (:

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.
