When you get to college, you have the mind set of no joining clubs or making new friends. Thats what happened to me in my freshman year of college. I thought, okay Im not going to join any clubs and I can make new friends. Im going to go and get my degree and leave. See, one thing of college does to the mind, it changes and opens up your mind to new possibilities.

I joined one of the classes for my major requirement my last year of college and Im regretting it incredibly. See at first, I was afraid of change and being up for new experiences but I have grown from my freshman year to now. I had a friend go to grad school in the UK and I had to adjust to change. During that time, I was so focused on opening up to new possibilities. I joined the school newspaper, made friends from there and definitely awaken my passion for writing. I also, joined the literary journal last semester and I was even brave enough to become an officer for the club. Then thats when it happened. I felt like I was home with my second family. At first, I was afraid because of new faces, mixed with old faces but then I gotten over the fear. Now, Im glad to call them my family. They have become part of my life and became people whom I care a lot about.

We might not be perfect, but at least we enjoy each other's company and we're like siblings. Who are there for each other whenever we need it and pick each other up whenever we're down.

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.
