With many college semesters coming to a close, students find themselves procrastinating. You may even be procrastinating right now while you read this article! So, here is an account for how your finals week may have went or will be going as your final days left in school come to an end. Happy finals week!

Friday (before finals):

Last night to party with friends. Poor attempt at coping with finals, but hey, you can't think about that biology exam anymore, you're just numbing your pain.

Saturday Morning:

So. Much. Regret. *Goes back to sleep*

Saturday Afternoon:

The studying begins….

Saturday night:

You reward yourself for studying and consume so much pizza that it actually consumes you.

Sunday Morning:

Kelsey mentioned chocolate chip pancakes. How do you pass that up?

Sunday Afternoon, approximately 3 p.m.:

Pre-studying study break at Starbucks. You need the energy to get through the next few hours.

Sunday Night, approximately 6PM:

Haven't done anything all day… Time to start cramming.

Monday morning:

You show up to your 8 a.m. final with about three hours of sleep, no coffee and only half of the information you studied readily available in your mind.

Monday night, approximately 11 p.m.:

Studying for seven hours straight, slightly brain dead and disoriented.

Tuesday Morning:

Those awful seven hours of studying paid off, definitely aced that exam.

Tuesday Night:

You've been studying all day and still don't understand the majority of the terms. Screaming is absolutely inevitable.

Wednesday Afternoon:

Those two exams just stripped you of your pride. Your brain hurts. Today is not OK.

Wednesday Night:

Your friends are all done with their finals and you still have one more to go. They're leaving and you're the last one of the group left at school.

Thursday afternoon:

You didn't study enough and you're pretty sure that last final dropped your grade at least 10 percent.

Thursday Night:

You’ve finished packing and found out you passed all of your classes!

Friday Morning:

The fam bam is here, and you sadly wave good bye to your dorm room.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
