10 Things You Shouldn't Have Done This Weekend

But you ended up doing anyway...

Every weekend is a learning experience. At least that’s how I see it. Without fail, we all do things we probably should not have, but we learn from our mistakes every time. Or do we? Here are 10 things that college students are typically guilty of on your average weekend.

1. Started your pregame at 7 p.m.

It may have seemed like a brilliant idea at the time, but blasting vintage Kanye and sipping your train wreck of a drink when it was still light outside was probably the first problem on Friday night. You always tell yourself you won’t do it again, but every night you and your friends go out, the same thing seems to happen.

2. Ended the night at 2 a.m.

So it didn't occur to you to leave that party when there were only two people left: you and the fifth year senior who lives upstairs.OK . That’s mildly understandable. And by “that’s,” I mean, “That was OK during your first week of freshman year.” But now it’s totally not. This has happened too many times to be acceptable at this point, and your friends will probably be confronting you about it tomorrow morning. Just so you know.

3. Eaten the room-temperature pizza in the common room.

But it was Domino’s. Pepperoni. And it tasted like the god’s ambrosia, as far as you were concerned. Four slices later and you probably felt like a million bucks. And let me guess, you totally slept in your romper and makeup too. You know I’m right.

4. Devoured the entire All-Star Breakfast at Waffle House.

As if the Domino’s incident was not enough to convince you that mandatory gym hours starting immediately were a necessity, you definitely headed over to the neighborhood WaHo the very next morning, drowned your sorrows in your sugared-up coffee, and managed to eat every last bit of the huge All-Star Breakfast. Great work. Things certainly are looking up for you, aren’t they?

5. Watched 14 episodes of “Cutthroat Kitchen.”

You could have at least watched something of substance. “Chopped” maybe, but “Cutthroat Kitchen”? Mediocrity. You seem to relish in it, but then again, don’t we all?

6. Not making it out of bed until 1 p.m.

Thank goodness you purchased those blackout curtains that can keep your room pitch black at all hours of the day if you want them to. You needed the recuperation time after your escapades yesterday evening, and you undoubtedly emerged from your dark lair only when you got that text that a load of people were going to Sheetz.

7. Drank the clear liquid you thought was water (it wasn’t!) on your bedside table.

This happened. I like to think of it as character building. This happened. And you are stronger for it. This happened. And you hope to whatever higher powers there may be that it never happens again.

8. Continued to request the song that wasn’t on the band’s set list. Ever.

OK, duh, “Dreams” and “Layla” were not in the frat band’s set list last night. They never will be. It’s nothing personal. Next time, you’ll do better to check yourself before you stumble over to the bassist and put in that request for the 13th time.

9. Worn last night’s makeup well into the following day.

That Covergirl LashBlast looked so much better the next morning. A great discovery.

10. Read back through your texts from Saturday night.

“Hey.” No, you didn’t. But you did. Read at 12:32 a.m. with no response. Awesome.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
