Best Things About Winter Break

1) We're finally home!Usus

Finals are over! Plus we get to see our family and spend some time away from school. It's always nice to spend quality time with family in a more, relaxed setting and for a longer period of time. School is the last thing that we think about and it's refreshing to not have anything to worry about!

2) Family and Friends

For me, seeing family and friends is one of the best parts of break! It's nice to be able to catch up without worrying about deadlines and tests!

3) Vacation!

Usually, my family and I go somewhere during winter break. I love that almost everyone has a vacation period scheduled in and it makes it easier to go somewhere nice and have fun!

4) The Festive Atmosphere

The holiday spirit is amplified to the max! Tons of light displays, holiday festivals, spirited events are always a joy. Everyone's in a good mood and radiate warmth in the cold times. The holidays are just a joyful time that creates beautiful memories. It's an infectious atmosphere that makes everything just a little better.

5) Good Food

I'm super excited for the amazing food during break. I miss my mom's home cooked food and being able to eat with my family is one the things I miss. The hot, home cooked meal makes the cold, bleak days a thousand times better!

6) Christmas and New Year's!

I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I love that I still get presents! It's a lot of fun and plus Christmas decorations are super cute! New Year's is also an amazing time! It always makes me wonder how fast the years are going by!

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.
