As much as I am ready to head back to college it can be difficult. It seems like it was just spring semester. Seriously, where did summer go? Have a fun move in day!

1. Did I seriously have this much stuff last year?

2. Oh my goodness. I did not realize how out of shape I am in. I am sweating like a mule in July after pulling a plow for ten hours.

3. I really hope my roommates are going to be alright this year. Do not be the black sheep, Shelby.

4. I believe in keeping the place cold, just in case a penguins needed a place to stay, you know? You can always put on more clothes, but can only take off so much. I hope my roommates understand.

5. Why do we have to fill out this much paperwork just to attend a school? I gave you my drivers licenses, social security, money, what else do you want from me? My first born son?

6. I'm already missing home a lot. Mom did my laundry, cooked, and cleaned. Dad, well he cleaned and kept us sane. And my dog... I'm gonna miss my dog while at college. Where did the summer go?!

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.

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.
