Spring Break is a sacred time for all college students. Regardless of their "scene" or set of responsibilities, this break definitely comes at a great time for college students. Spring Break can be a time of complete utter mayhem or it can be a time of extreme relaxation; It can be a time to get things completely done or it can be a time to BE completely done, with everything. Either way, Spring Break is super special in our hearts, but one thing is for sure: we all do a few things during Spring Break that we end up regretting later. Here are the top 4 most popular things students regret after Spring Break.


1. "I regret not studying."

We all say we will study at least a few days out of Spring Break, but we never do! You know you're in complete denial about studying during Spring Break when you take your textbooks with you on a trip and purposely avoid looking at them during your entire trip. Let's face it, we all think we are going to study or get ahead on school work during this Spring Break... but do we? NO.

2. "I regret not relaxing."

Faced with the stress and anxiety of the Spring semester, we all look forward to Spring Break as a time when we could lay low and relax for a few days. We hope to take time to find a personal zen during this week. We think we're going to catch up on sleep, breathe in fresh air, and bond with nature... but do we? NO.

3. "I regret not staying in."

Spring Break means having a fun time right? The break is an excuse to catch up with friends, play some tunes, completely jam out for a few days. We all think that Spring Break will be a party-filled extravaganza filled with turnt activities the whole time. Spring Break is so crazy fun sometimes, that we vow to definitely stay in the next year... but do we? NO.

4. "I regret not staying off of Netflix."

"This spring break I'm going to be productive!" Yeah, right. We all go into break thinking that we will have so much free time to be responsible and get things done. But what do we actually spend this time on? Netflix. Our addiction to the video streaming service can be a big problem, one that encourages us to cancel our memberships... but do we? NO.

Yes, Spring Break is super fun and a time that can never truly be replaced. We all love it, we all live it, and we all learn from it... even if you regret them later. There's always next year, right?

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 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?
