What It Feels Like To Be Done With Exams

First off Congrats on making it another year!!!! No matter how many finals you had, the week definitely felt stressful just from the people around you. No more looking at kids walking around with a backpack so big you start to wonder whats in there. No more seeing the same kid sitting in the library all week because lets be honest more time is spent there than in your actual room. No more cumulative exams to stress about and crappy cafe food.

When finals are done you no longer have to dress like a scrub. It’s hard enough studying for hours to pass that chemistry exam but then also remembering when was the list time you changed your shirt...forget it. Exam week is that time when you can bum around in anything you want and nobody's going to ask if your ok. Now it’s time to clean it up….seriously shower and maybe put something other than sweats on for the day just to make it clear to others that you can think clearly again. When exam week is over you can now do all the things you wish you could do during that week. Watch that Netflix series because you have all the time in the world. Hangout with your friends for the whole day because what else are you going to do? Ok you could SLEEP yes yes yes that beautiful thing that everyone needs a lot of and has surely been deprived of during exam week. When exams are over your mood instantly gets better and everyone including you is grateful for that.

After exams are done it's time to go home and enjoy some time with the family eat those homemade meals you've been craving all semester. Being done with exams you get to plan out your day how you want it. No more classes and planning time to study, eat, and go to the gym.

As nice as it is to be done with the semester you'll always miss eating meals with your friends and procrastinating with them. You'll miss the weekends filled with events and sports games but thanks to technology you'll always be able to stay in contact with your friends. Break will fly by and soon enough you'll be back at school knee deep in homework assignments.

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.
