The Spring Semester Slump As Told By 'Parks and Recreation'
Typeset

The spring semester always seems to fly by faster than we can even unpack from winter break. The spring semester seems to be filled to the brim of assignments, exams, papers, projects, meetings and more. We know we have all these tasks to complete because it will benefit our future but most of us have lost all motivation. Just think, two more months and then summer.

Spring semester's weather is also very confusing especially this year. We all thought spring came early then winter took back over. Winter came back to surprise us all.

The laziness is unreal. Even with all the things coming up and assignments due, all we actually want to do is sleep though. Then we fall behind and try and take a nap thinking it will solve all of our problems. Spoiler Alert: It does not.

So since you took a nap and procrastinated, the stress levels have risen. Right now it seems like there is not enough time in the day to get everything you need to get done and have a well balanced social life, but somehow it will get completed.

The Spring Break comes along, and the perfect getaway is made. The worries seem to be left behind on campus while you either go home or the perfect vacation. Being 21 or older means that you will, probably, spend most of the break with some type of drink in your hand.

When we all return from break, the stress continues and the assignments continue to pile up like there was never a break anyway. For some classes, students may of even had an assignment over break. Which means it wasn't really a break at all.

But in the end, remember that you are capable anything you put your mind to. Study for those exams, finish those assignments, have some personal time, go to coffee with a friend. Find the time management skills that work for you. Then before you know it, you'll be driving away with your car fully packed ready for summer.

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.
