The Week From Hell!

Now that finals are finally over I can write this without crying.

Dear Finals Week,

I hate you so much.

I don't sleep. I barley eat. And worst of all everyday of that week I look like a hobo.

I just don't understand why you hate college students so much. You come like tidal wave. You just take us, push us down, and tear us apart. You just love to destroy us. You just come so quickly and all of us know it is coming but we can never prepare enough.

It seems just like yesterday it was week 1 and we were just going through the syllabus thinking about how awesome this semester/quarter will be. We all have motivation to do our work and we are kicking butt at our classes.

Then before we know it the end is near. We are hating this semester/quarter. We have no motivation. We are worried about our GPA's. And worst of all instead of us kicking this semester/quarter butt, this semester/quarter is kicking our butt.

You make me question everything that I am doing with my life. You make me question weather or not I can do it. Everyday during this week you make me debate about just dropping out of college and becoming a stripper. (I swear I actually won't do it. Don't worry mom and dad.)

Us college kids become in love coffee, red bull. Anything caffeinated will become our best friend. We all stay at the school/library until we get kicked out. We daydream about being in our beds again. We forget what sleep is. We all look like hobos.

Why do you do this to us Finals Week? WHY?

I spend so much money on red bull and coffee that by the end of the week I have no money to go out and buy food. I drink so much red bull and coffee that next week I am on break I am having caffeine withdrawals.

During finals week I stay more at the school than I do at more. I think they just need to have dorms like in the school. Not by the school but in the school.

Whenever I forget what sleep is. I just go to school thinking about how I can not wait to go home and go to bed. Like as soon as I get to school I want to go home and sleep more.

You can tell it is finals week at college because everyone is on t-shirts, sweat pants and sneakers. The girls have no make up and have their up while the guys have really messy hair. And everyone has huge dark circles under their eyes and a look of like, "Help Me! I need sleep."

I don't think I could ever express how much I hate finals week. But this can about sum it up. So hey Finals Week the next time you come around can you not be so mean and harsh. If not just don't even bother coming back.

Sincerly,
All The College Kids

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.
