As the academic school year and semester comes to a close, there are a few things that are going to happen that will not be the best. Now all of these things might not suck for everyone, but for the mostly everyone they do. These are the top worst things about the end of the year.

1. Final Exams

No one likes exams, I'm more than sure about this. I am absolutely positive that no one is fond of final exams. Nothing says Happy End of the Year like a 100 multiple choice exam. Not only do you have to take them, but you also have to do well on them if you want to pass the class with a decent grade.

2. Projects

On top of studying for exams, professors think it's a good idea to pile on the projects. What makes some of these projects even worse, is if they are group projects. There's nothing quite like having to work with three or four other people who are just as lost as you are on a project worth a good percentage of your grade.

3. Moving Out

This is one of the most stressful parts of the school year ending, second only to final exams. You have to pack up your entire room into the boxes and totes you don't have. This is the time that you realize you have acquired much more stuff than you originally had when you moved in. Fitting it into whatever vehicle you have, is more difficult than actually packing it.

4. Friends

Since college is filled with people from everywhere and anywhere, this means it will be quite taxing to see all of your friends. You could live anywhere from 45 minutes to hours apart. The summer will be spent video chatting and texting since your friends can be nowhere near you.

5. Family

The summer means going home and going home means family time. Sometimes family time is not something you desire, especially if it's for more than a few weeks. Fear not friends, the summer is only temporary and before you know it, you will be back at school with your friends or off to your own place.

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.
