Picture this: it's the week before Thanksgiving. You have three papers due in three days. You only started one. You have four exams in four days. You know you'll fail three. Morale is low, tensions are high and everyone is ready to scream. And then, you remember: Thanksgiving is this week! Will you get through this last week? Only time will tell.

You don't think you'll be able to get through another Sodexo meal.

You've stopped caring what people think of your opinion in class anymore.

And you really, really want to scream at the kid in the library talking way too loud.

You have to convince yourself you can get through it.

You've lost your ability to find your chill.

Your friends are already home but you still have three more classes and they're sending you pictures of them together.

You don't have any motivation to save your money anymore.

Everything taught during class goes in one ear and out the other.

You and your roommate are causing a ruckus wherever you go.

Thinking about your pets during class makes you want to die.

Your squad is slowly all going down with you.

You stare at a blank word document for hours before starting.

You want to slap the person in your class that thinks they know everything.

Facetime calls with your mom look like:

All nighters in the library are slowly but surely killing you.

You left your papers for the absolute last minute and now you hate yourself.

The people in your group project are expecting too much of you.

When you finish your last responsibility before you go home:

You sit down to dinner, and you realize you made it. Go you! You can do anything now!

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.
