With spring break just around the corner, it may be hard to lose track of your priorities when all you can think about is going on a jet plane and never coming back again. The week approaching spring break is the hardest because as midterms are still in season, we can't afford to check out just yet. But how can we not check out when warmer weather is calling our names?

1. Impatience

How many more days until the flight takes off? As we sit in lecture and stare at the clock ticking away, each second is closer to a wonderful, relaxed spring break. But first, we have to get through a few more midterms.

2. Irritability

We don't want to be doing this work when we could be packing and getting ready to get our tans on! Our minds are in spring break mode, but our bodies are stuck in lecture halls. You don't want to be stuck indoors when there is beautiful weather somewhere else.

3. Uncontrollable stress

You have to pack, study for midterms, and get everything in order before the flight takes off. There seems to be no time because time is running out. While we may be excited that rest and relaxation is so soon, there doesn't seem to be enough time to get everything in order.

4. But also uncontrollable excitement

Get excited! It is coming up fast and it's going to be a blast! All this stressing will be worth it for just one week of paradise!

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.

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?
