Give Sunday a chance

Sunday Morning Thoughts

There's always been something so very comforting about Sunday's. Many people dislike Sunday's because it means Monday is too near, however, Sunday will always have a special place in my heart. When I was younger, Sunday meant it was mom’s day off, so fun stuff would be happening. Now Sunday is a mix of a family day, a study day, or just a lay in bed and watch TV day. That might not sound amazing to everyone, but to me it means something.

Sunday is the perfect day to put on fuzzy pajamas and bundle up in a blanket and drink hot coffee. It is the perfect day to watch a movie and eat snacks. Sunday means big elaborate breakfasts rather than your usual coffee and granola bar. Sunday means a dozen bagels, or a big yummy omelette, or waffles and pancakes. Sunday means apple picking or shopping or going out to dinner. Sunday is the day we feel thankful for the week that has passed, and anxious for what is to come. It is a day of mental clarity and preparation.

So this Sunday I challenge you not to think of the looming Monday ahead, and to enjoy it instead. Here are some things you can try to do, to make Sunday special to you.

Bake something. From scratch!

Watch a heartwarming movie.

Take a bubble bath.

Binge watch an entire season of something on Netflix.

Cook a big, delicious, Sunday dinner.

Go shopping and enjoy the trip instead of going for something specific in mind.

Have a grand breakfast that you can’t indulge in throughout the week.

Spend time with your family.

Change your sheets and make your bed.

Clean the thing you’ve been meaning to clean, you’ll feel much better once it's done.

Call your grandparents.

Sleep in.

Start a project you’ve been thinking about.

I promise if you give Sunday a chance, you won’t regret it.

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.
