It's that time of the semester again. That time when all of your professors meet up and decide that scheduling a bunch of exams all in the same week would be a good idea for you and your GPA… NOT. Midterms. The price we have to pay before boozing it up on some beach during the bliss of spring break. But at what cost? Here are some thoughts you've *probably* had run across your mind during midterm week.

1. I can DO this

Gotta start with a positive outlook right? Grab yourself a Starbucks, sit yourself down and start grinding because it's totally possible to finish all your assigned work and study for all your exams, sleep, eat, call your mom to let her know you're OK... maintain brows… you know the drill.

2. *five seconds later* I can't do this

On second thought, maybe not. Last time I checked, multitasking is definitely a thing but maybe not when you're trying to crank out a synthesis paper and study for your stats exam at the same time. Who do you think I am?


3. When was the last time I ate?

Food? What is it? All I know it that trail mix, cheez-its and coffee have become their own food group. It's called the “how am I still alive" food group.


4. Will I ever sleep again?

LOL. What a funny joke.


5. *tries to lock apartment with car keys*

The scatterbrain. A common side effect of excessive stress and sleep deprivation. Trying to lock your apartment with your car keys is just the beginning. Try forgetting where you parked your car in the parking garage and trying to get into a car that is not yours for 30 minutes. Oops.


6. Do I look cute? Oh no, I definitely don't

About 0.35 of the way through your first all-nighter, you start to realize that the chance of running into Chad from Sigma Apple Pie in the library would be a catastrophic event.


7. Only 10 days until spring break

Pretty much the only thought that keeps me fighting. After this week from H-E- double-hockey-sticks, you finally get to breathe, eat, sleep, etc. But then press the repeat button when finals come around. May the odds be ever in your favor.

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.
