To the senior who doesn't have a job after graduation,

I know that this is probably the biggest thing to be stressing about as graduation is approaching. Take this time to figure out yourself and what you really want to do in life. Sometimes, you still don't even really know what you want to do after graduation and that's okay too. It's okay to not have life figured out after graduation. You still have time to figure everything out, there is no rush or time limit on figuring out what you want to do with your life.

Take time after graduation to travel and appreciate your last taste of freedom. Go travel abroad to a place you have always wanted to see with your best friends or your family. Or, spend time with your friends and your family and cherish the moments with them before you do find a job and are swamped with work for the rest of your life.

You will never be freer than you are in this moment right now. College has been the best four years of your life, so take the time while you can, while you are job-less and living care-free, and enjoy your time doing whatever you want to do. This is the time where you get to choose what you want to do with your life and how you want to live it, so choose wisely and don't forget to appreciate your family and friends along the way.

So what if you don't have a job lined up right after graduation. That does not mean that you aren't going to land your dream job in the near future. Sometimes good things take time and it's okay to take your time trying to figure out what job is best for you. Move home, travel, do whatever it is that you won't be able to do once the real world grabs ahold of you and you are left with minimal free time.

So to the senior who doesn't have a job lined up after graduation, it's okay to not have life figured out yet. We are still so young and still have time to figure out what we want to do and where we want to be. Take this time to appreciate yourself and the people around you and live in the moment. Time is precious and we only have so much free-time on our hands left.

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.
