1. Oh, this nice

first, you're just enjoying your last day of relaxation, soaking up the final precious moments of freedom while you can, right?

2. Uh Oh

Then reality hits. I mean, you knew that school starts tomorrow, but now you really, truly know that school is starting tomorrow.

3. Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away

Time to repress reality and continue relaxing for a couple more hours! Unfortunately, ignoring the fact that school begins tomorrow won't actually keep it from happening.

4. My relaxation is TAINTED

Except now that you've remembered that school is starting tomorrow, relaxing doesn't exactly have the same happiness to it. It's been tainted with the knowledge that these are your last few hours of freedom, and they're slowly slipping through your hands.

5. Fine, time to face the music

Finally, you decide to just embrace the fleeting quality of spring breaks and accept the fact that school begins tomorrow. After denying it for so long, this stage may be difficult to go through. Reality hits hard.

6. I'm not prepared!!

You've just now realized that you are in NO WAY prepared for tomorrow. Mentally, physically, academically... And speaking of academically:

7. Shoot, I had homework

You had a whole week to work on your homework. You swore to yourself you'd finish it all the first few days of spring break. Or, even better, you'd actually work on that 10-page essay the way teachers recommend, with a little bit accomplished each day. But did you actually do that? No, you didn't, did you? And now you're in the academic sprint of shame.

8. When's the next break?

Halfway through homework, you run out of steam and scour your school's academic calendar for a hint of hope. If you're lucky, you'll get at least a 3-day weekend for Easter. If you're not, say sayanara to scuba-diving until summer!

9. I can do this

In the absence of upcoming breaks, you desperately try to enact some positive self-talk, convincing yourself that you can do this. You can finish a week's worth of homework in one evening! You can make it until summer without another break! You can finish this semester with a 4.0! You can!

And finally...

10. I need another spring break

After you've finished your homework, moved back into your dorm, picked out your outfit for tomorrow, and done anything else you need to do to prepare for the day ahead, you're exhausted. Who can blame you for needing another break?

Good luck to everyone heading back to school after a much-needed spring break! Remember: you CAN do this!

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?
