A Summary Of The Semester As Told By The Office

As this semester comes to a close I find myself reflecting back on the events that occurred during these past three and a half months. It's definitely been a crazy year, I personally feel as if 2016 just started and yet 2017 is less than a month away. College semesters have their ups and downs, and there's no better way to summarize this semester than some good ol' "Office" references.

Coming back from summer, not ready to accept that you have to get back into the school grind.

You go to your first class during syllabus week, thinking it's going to be easy-breezy and the professor starts actually teaching material.

Before you know it you're drowning in work and it's only the second week of classes.

Soon you can't remember what it was like to have free time because lately all of your free time is spent at the library.

But it's alright because you're whole squad is camped in the library with you.

Unfortunately there comes a time in the semester where it feels like everything is falling apart.

And the numbers of your bank account are plummeting fast.

Fortunately winter break comes just in time.

Take advantage of this month off because you deserve it! It's definitely been one heck of a semester. Don't forget about all the good times though. Despite all of the long hours of studying and school work there were definitely some times to remember. Know that the characters of the "Office" understand your semester, they have your back.

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.
