I thought summer school was going to suck. I mean...it's summer! I could be traveling, but here are six reasons for why I don't regret taking classes during the summer:

1. I get to graduate within four years

I was super stressed after I added on a second major last quarter because literally none of the classes overlapped between majors, but now, I don't have to worry.

2. I can take my classes without worrying about the social aspect of it all

Socializing is actually terrifying, especially since I'm an introvert. Thank God I don't have to deal with it while I'm taking summer classes.

3. I only have to take two classes

It's so much easier than taking a full set of three or four classes.

4. I can stay in the comfort of my own home

OK, there are actually some cons to this, but none too difficult to handle. At least I can see my family every day!

5. I feel more productive with my summer

I obviously need to sacrifice any opportunity to work full-time or travel, but my brain is still being put to use. Hopefully, this productive mindset will last for the school year...

6. I still had time to relax

Since summer school is only six weeks long, I still had a whole month to do whatever I wanted before summer school and stay relaxed like this hedgehog.

That being said, I'm glad that I chose to take summer school, but I also can't wait for summer school to be over.

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.
