Sometimes you need to break the monotony of everyday life.

Life can become tedious sometimes. You fall into a routine, and become bored, day in and day out doing the same thing can become exhausting. Going to school, then work, or a sports practice every day can sometimes feel monotonous, and after a while you don't really understand why you're doing it. You've become bored and you need to fall in love with your life again.

It's so important to take a break and do something for you once in a while. Take a break, take a trip, and make some memories. In 20 years you won't want to be talking about how many hours you could work in a week, you want to be talking about that road trip you took with your friends and saw the sun rise from the mountains and laughed until you couldn't breath the whole time.

As a college student it is so easy to get stuck in this boring routine. Since you don't have much money to begin with you have to spend your whole summer and school breaks working, and you can't just skip class for a week or you'll get behind. But you still need to take the time to do what makes you happy. Sure going to bars and parties is fun at the end of a long week but even that can start to get old quick. I promise you if you take a weekend off and go on a little road trip you aren't going to miss the parties that happened while you were gone.

Plan something, don't think about it, don't think about the money you'll need to spend, don't think about what you'll be missing if you do something for yourself, just do it. Go with some friends, go alone, do whatever it takes to recharge before you completely burn out. Life is way too short to not go out and do the things you want to do. Traveling and experiencing new things can be addicting, but is that really such a bad addiction to have?

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.
