Ways You Can Survive The Upcoming Semester

Us college students have so much stress in our lives from grades to our social lives that we have started learning how to manage our stress slowly, and hopefully this semester will not be as stressful as the last! There are many ways to survive this upcoming semester, but here are five of them!

1. Make A Schedule

We all should be organizing! Try scheduling your work hours, your classes, and a study time as well as other times! Being organized can hep tremendously!

2. Study For At Least 2 Hours For Each Class

Try studying for your classes if you haven't already. I know it's something we all dread and would rather spend the time watching Netflix instead, but it needs to be done! One of my math teachers suggested this at Asbury: "Schedule two hours for every class you have." It really helps a lot!

3. Plan Time With Friends And Homework Equally

Try planning time with friends and homework equally! Last semester was not that great for me, partially because I wanted to spend time with my friends and never made time for homework. One of my friends would constantly ask me to do homework with them. I couldn't--because for me and I know some of you can relate--I cannot do homework while talking with my friends or while watching TV. I tend to lose focus, and everything is too distracting. If you have this problem, I suggest managing your time wisely, maybe even equally!

4. Schedule A Sleep Time

Try going to bed early! Waking up refreshed is a great way to start the day, and is better for your body. Don't cram homework in until 1 a.m. Try the homework schedule described above, and go to sleep at a reasonable time. Your body will thank you!

5. Get A Tutor

If you've tried everything, but a tutor... Get a tutor! Maybe it'll help you get better grades, or help you understand something better. Don't keep yourself in the dark, or struggling!

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.
