So I know I haven't been writing that much in the past couple of weeks but ya girl is back! Finals week was brutal but I made it through and I'm back to put a smile on your pretty little faces. Now that I've had the time to get used to being home for winter break, I thought I'd share my thoughts that I've had for the first week home. So without further a do, let's get this party started.

Day 1 (The Arrival)

1. *Steps off the coach bus in NYC* "Oh my God! Civilization! People! Tall Buildings!"

2. "It's time to hit the ground running! I got sh#t to do and people to see! Let's Go!"

3. "I'm going to Chipotle. Chipotle is my life."

4. "I'm going to Shake Shack. The burgers are angelic."

5. "Real Spanish food is a must."

Day 2

6. "I'm going to BBQ's.The BBQ ribs are a gift from heaven."

7. "Wow. Food is at the top of my list of being home but have you tasted dining hall food? Exactly"

8. "I gotta go see my best friend. It's about to get crazy up in NYC. They not ready for us."

9. "I gotta go visit my old skating program, Figure Skating in Harlem. I practically live there."

Day 3

10. "I am so excited for this break. I have so many things I want to do."

11. "I gotta go to the ice rink and see my synchro team just so I can steal some of their ice time.

12. "Wow. I have a lot of plans I want to do this break. Do I have the money for all of this?"

13. "You know what? I might have to pull it back with all these plans I have. I live on a fixed budget and NYC ain't cheap."

Day 4

14. "F&ck it. I'm out to see SING at the movies and grab a bite to eat at Chipotle with my best friend."

15. "Wow. I'm starting to get a little bored at home."

16. "Let me go visit my skating program again. That should keep me busy."

17. "Netflix! I'm gonna catch up on all of my shows."

Day 5

18. "Alright, my days are starting to get a little repetitive. This isn't fun."

19. "I need a job. I have a dollar to my name..."

20. "HA!!! That last point was funny. I'm too lazy for an actual job."

21. "I'm starting to miss my friends back at school."

22. "Wait how long is this break?"

23. "It's official. I'm bored. Let's get back to school. Not for the work, but for my friends."


So yeah. These are a couple of thoughts that I've had for the first week of being home. If you guys have any thoughts you wanna share, put them in the comments!

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.
