Finals week. A whole five days where students experience nothing but stress, tears, and a lack of sleep. While we should be completely focused on what we're studying, we often get distracted. These are 10 thoughts students have throughout the course of the week.

1. How can I get out of this exam?

Quick, start brainstorming excuses.

2. What is the lowest score I could get on this exam to still pass the class?

I can manage to get that many questions correct, right?

3. I'm going on hour 12 of studying. I still know nothing.

I just read an entire chapter and don't remember anything. This is good.

4. Maybe it’s best for everyone if I just drop out.

I think my parents will understand. I tried my best.

5. *Gets mad about a single person using an entire classroom to study*

Please, don't be that person.

6. Well, I’ve never seen this before in my life.

I think my professor is trying to make me cry.

7. Do you think they’ll deliver food to the library?

I haven't moved from this seat in what feels like days. Can someone order food before I pass out?

8. I haven’t seen my roommate in days, should I be concerned?

I think they're studying... I hope.

9. Is anyone else struggling as much as I am?

Why didn't I take this class with my friends? I need serious help.

10. Just push through it, you’re going home!

So close to sleeping in my bed. Let's 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?

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.
