We're not even 6 weeks in, and the semester has hit like a brick wall. Here are 8 thoughts you have definitely thought if you're already over the semester:

1. Class? Yeah, I should probably start going again.

I really had a great streak going those first two weeks. Naps just really started taking up a whole lot of time lately.

2. The exam isn't for another 4 days? Let's go road tripping!!

Gone are the days where studying started a week in advance. It's the night before or nothing. Procrastination nation folks!! And on that note...

3. How many exams do I have to take to prove that studying the night before does NOT work for me?

It's like a never ending cycle.

4. Google search: How to make money from your bed

Options include starting a wildly popular blog and taking surveys. Not the worst things.

5. I should clean my room. Sometime in the next few months. 

I stopped caring about the state of my room the second day of the semester.

6. I need to save money and cook for myself once in a while.

But it always ends up being ~pizza again~.

7. Do I want to go out? Eh...

Sure it would be fun, but it requires so much effort. There's picking an outfit, getting ready, finding a place, and actually being there....also, I think I'd rather go to bed early.

8. There's no place I would rather be.

Despite having to juggle classes, activities, and friends, there's no place I would rather be than at school with the people I love.

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.
