Thank You, Internet and Netflix, For Never Letting Me Get Work Done

You never fail to give me a reason not to move from my bed in the morning.

Thank You, Internet and Netflix, For Never Letting Me Get Work Done
The Huffington Post

You’ve given me endless reasons not to go to class in the morning and a thousand other reasons to put off doing homework.

Gossip Girl- I mean, come on- Ed Westwick is arguably the hottest guy on this show. I would let Chuck Bass *distract* me any day. He’s gorgeous, for one; and he has a British accent in real life. He is actually perfect. Thank you, Gossip Girl, from allowing me to submit my homework in way too late. Thank you for teaching me that the baddest and the boujiest are also dumb and get into the stupidest situations that string on this show way past its due date.

One Tree Hill- I will ~always and forever~ be on #teamnathan. He and Haley are the reason true love exists. Second to Brooke, Nathan is the character with the most development and improvement and I mean, he is so sexy in that basketball jersey. Thank you, One Tree Hill, for giving me ridiculous expectations for my future husband. Thank you, Nathan and Haley, for proving that I will always be alone (with my cats).

Doggos- Cute ones, fat ones, dogs that lick my hand, dogs that run away from me scared- SQUIRREL- I love you. Nothing distracts me more than a fluffy doggo. If there’s a dog, my work can forget about being finished. Dogs obviously take top priority on my list of things that I’d rather do than work- right before bang my head against a wall. I think I can speak for literally every human being with a beating heart when I say, thank you doggos, for giving us a reason to wake up in the morning. Thank you for being so fluffy and so cute and for doing dumb things like chasing your tail or trying to eat your own paw- the world thanks you.

The Office- I’ve got two names for you- Dwight and Jim. Their friendship is one for the ages. Instead of writing an essay, you can catch me watching “Jim” trying to convince Dwight that he’s always been Asian. Beets, Bears, and Battlestar Galactica are words to live by. Thank you, The Office, for showing me what true love really looks like. Thank you for giving me a reason to skip class!

Buzzfeed and YouTube- You are the bane of my existence. Without you, I would always get my work done on time and would probably have all of this free time I wouldn’t know what to do with. You’ve given me the gift of taking the most irrelevant quizzes and you taught me that I was Queen Elsa in a past life and that I’ll be thirty and thriving in the Bahamas (which would obviously be ideal). Thank you, YouTube, for giving me a reason to not pay attention in class and for giving me an endless supply of cute baby videos- you’re the real MVP.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
