HBO has done it again

The Final Stretch: As Told By "Big Little Lies"

As spring break comes to an end and visions of warmer days dance in our heads, it's getting more and more difficult to focus on school. I've recently discovered the new HBO original show: Big Little Lies, and it's quite possibly the best thing to happen to me this spring. Here's the rest of the semester as told by the cast of Big Little Lies:

#1. Coming back from spring break and trying to readjust yourself to the FREEZING "spring" weather:


#2. When your professors start talking about finals:


#3. Trying to figure out how many more lectures you can miss before it starts to count against you/affect your grade:


#4. When your first mental break down hits because you realized you have so much work left to do:


#5. That moment when you are out on a Friday and all you can think about is the term paper you haven't even started:


#6. When you hit the final month and all of sudden you have two tests per week and four final projects due:


#7. That five second period where you actually are motivated:


#8. When it's the final week and it takes everything in you to stay focused:


#9. When you're finally done with classes and finals and you realize you get to go home:


#10. As you drive away and you realize you'll actually miss Syracuse this summer:


If you haven't seen this show, go watch it. Now. You've earned a studying break (probably).

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.
