Stress: A Common And Unhealthy Habit

Stress. It is probably one of the most common emotions a person in this era feels. From the people who are worried about their school work and trying to balance everything, to the people who stress out about the future.

Stress is in everyone, but sometimes it really really gets to you. That's when the smallest things seem as if they are impossible. That pile of homework becomes a mountain in your mind, that stress about the future becomes a panic attack. That is when stress gets unhealthy.

You can't control it. Sometimes it just hits like a boulder and you're laying on the ground with no air and panicking. To the people who feel that way right now, it gets easier. The stress goes away. Don't put yourself down because it's hard to finish that work.

Don't call yourself dumb, or bring yourself down because you think you can't handle it. You're incredibly smart and you can do it. Take a break from things that stress you out, sometimes you just need a mental break and that is okay. Life will take you down, just so it can prepare you for the issues you'll face later.

There's a reason for everything that the world is throwing things at you to stress about, so you can come back twice as strong. You can do this. You're going to succeed through everything, and you will be okay.

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.
