Things To Do When You're Bored And Can't Sleep (Like Me)
Clipart Kid

Today I woke up relatively early, had class, had lunch, and you probably don't care about all the other things I did because you most likely did them too. That's exciting, good job! So now it's 11:33PM on a Monday night and I'm sitting here with a calculus test and paper due tomorrow and I'm trying to "have a night." Aka, I have so much energy that I could literally be up for four more hours trying to expend said energy in fun ways before going to bed rather than studying for that test looming over my head. Here is a list of things to do when you're bored and can't sleep, like me.

1. Have a water balloon fight.

2. Stalk people on Instagram.

3. Put an Oreo on your eye and try to get it into your mouth without your hands.

4. Change the world.

5. Become President.

6. Do Buzzfeed quizzes.

7. Do something crazy!!!

8. Try to give some of your energy to other people who could use some.

9. Play Mario Cart balloon battle.

10. Send your friends weird memes.

11. Download the "Gif Keyboard."

12. Make a fort.

13. Dress up your dog.

14. See how many cartwheels you can do in one minute.

15. Find Narnia.

16. Figure out how to spell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." (sorry, beat ya to it)

17. Look up "Tasty" videos, try to make them, and fail.

18. Watch cookie decorating videos on Instagram.

19. Run to get a "Cookout" milkshake and Uber back.

20. Text your good friend Beyoncé and listen to "Lemonade" together.

21. Go to Walmart and ask if they have walls for sale.

22. Go to "Sleepy's" and get the rest of your life, or jump on their beds.

23. Become a hallway ninja. Pop out at people as they walk by.

24. Dress up as a chicken and peck at people as they walk by.

25. Tape a cone to your head and become a narwhal.

26. Try to fit into your refrigerator.

27. Become an olympic athlete.

28. Make an origami paper airplane and fly it around the room.

29. Make a YouTube channel and reminisce on your middle school self.

30. Comment on your friend's old Facebook posts from when they were 12.

It's now 12:06AM, and its still safe to say I could run a marathon. Running to cookout sounds more realistic and even then, I'd probably Uber. For your own safety and health, (and mine), we should all just probably go to bed. Let me know if you actually do anything on this list, because I'd be impressed.

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.

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.
