It's that time of year again. The dreaded finals week is rapidly approaching. Your blood type is now coffee. You've cried more times than you can count. You feel like you're crawling to the end. Trust me, I understand, and so does the Grinch. For every feeling you have during these final weeks of the semester, and with Christmas approaching as well, the Grinch can totally relate to you.

1. When you try to organize your finals week schedule.

2. When you've studied so much you feel like your brain is going to explode.

3. When you're so stressed out you just break down and start crying in the library.

4. When the stress eating becomes a real problem.

5. When your friend let's you borrow their extensive study guide.

6. When you remember there's extra credit you can do for one of your classes.

7. When your friends ask if you're okay and you kind of lose your mind.

Because I'm perfectly fine.

8. So then they invite you to go out with them and blow off some steam...

9. But then the thought of failing your exams pops into your head so you decline.

10. So instead you stay in studying like:

11. Before you know it, it's time for your exams.

12. But then, finally, it's break!

13. And you can go out whenever you want now, stress free.

So trust me, I understand. You may not remember the last time you ate a meal with a vegetable in it. You've probably cried at least twice today. And you probably feel like you won't make it through to break. But hey, if the Grinch can steal Christmas, then you can crush these finals!

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.
