Thanksgiving Break: Take Advantage Of Your Time Off

Although Winter Break is only a few weeks away, Thanksgiving Break is the first significant break that most of us get after summer. And when it comes to time off, we all have problems managing our time. Here is an easy way to love your break.

Monday: Homework. Everyone already hates Mondays, so this is a great way to get classwork out of the way, leaving the rest of the week for fun. Not to mention, you have the prior Saturday and Sunday to yourself.

Tuesday: Recover from homework with a lazy day. Maybe you have a lot to do and need to take Tuesday morning to finish up that AP term paper. After you're done, take the day to relax with a couple of your best friends: Hulu and Netflix. You can also spend time having your own spa day or reading your favorite book.

Wednesday: Clean. Everything. If you have friends or family coming over, it's time to get out some gloves and a big bottle of all-purpose cleaner. You want that house looking spic-and-span for those Instagram photos.

Thursday: Enjoy the Holiday. Make some good food, and share some laughs with your family. Just avoid talking about the election. Just don't risk it.

Friday: Go shopping, if you want. While I'm not too big of a Black Friday fan, if you do go shopping, take some time to sort out your gifts, and take it easy on cooking the next day. I'm sure you have plenty of leftovers.

Saturday/Sunday: Everything else. Spend time with family, meet up with some friends, and do any last minute studying. Feel free to pull out the Christmas lights too, since it's finally acceptable.

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.
