Temperatures are in the 90s and 100s as a brutal and ruthless heatwave rages across the Northeast. Anyone caught in the middle of this knows firsthand just how hot it's getting outside (and hoping it doesn't get worse.) We begged for summer but now that it's here, we can't wait for winter. Until the temperature drops enough to create the comfortable and enjoyable summer we know and love, these thoughts are bound to come to mind:

1. It. Is. HOT.

2. Why doesn't this fan have an extra fast setting!?

The fast speed is not enough

3. I need an ice pop

4. I need another ice pop!

5. It's too hot for a warm shower but it's too cold if you turn it down

6. Where can I go to have fun but also stay cool?

7. Which one of my friends has a pool?

8. It's too hot for a beach day

9. If I go outside for more than a minute, I'll burn and turn as red as a lobster

10. Where the heck is my sunscreen?

11. I can't leave the house without a water bottle or I'll DIE

12. Will my parents get mad if I turn up the AC a little more?

13. Maybe if I go to the store, it'll be cooler there

14. But my car is gonna be 100 degrees hotter than it is outside

15. Can you really cook an egg on the sidewalk?

16. *Gets in car* AIR!!! *Blasts AC*

17. You can literally just see the heat

18. Is it just humid or are we getting another thunder storm?

19. Are those people wearing pants? What is wrong with them?

20. Who the hell drinks hot coffee right now? I'm sticking to my iced!

Giphy

21. Did I put deodorant on?

22. I think I need more

23. I'm. SO. Stickyyyy.

24. Oh god... I'm CHAFING

25. Screw my summer body! I need some ice cream

26. You know, winter wasn't that bad

27. And they want me to go to WORK in THIS? Na ah.

28. Geez, I can't wait until fall

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.
