Winter Break Celebration

Just something I wrote on the feeling of winter break in my opinion

Winter Break Celebration

Even as a little girl, I had something that I had to do that was due by the time I got back to school. Middle school was starting or finishing up a science fair project, man it's been years since I've done one, for my class. High school, each year was a combination of something that I had to do before I got back to school, but I am actually kind of happy that it wasn't anything finals related since we took them before we go on winter break. I remembered freshman year was a world history project, sophomore year was a geometry project or chemistry work, junior year was a thick physics packet, and senior year was the big senior project which was the next draft for my 8-10 page research paper.

Now that I am in college, once finals are over, I won't have to do any type of work or project over the break that's due by the time I'm back in school. The only thing that I have to do is buy textbooks for all five out of six of my classes...yay. At least I have like a whole month until I have to buy them.

My first semester of college wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but I know that as you keep going into the next semester and afterwards, it may get more challenging, but I'll be prepared for it. My next semester schedule isn't terrible, but it is classes back to back from 9-11 with my day being done on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:50 and Tuesday and Thursday at 11:45. No more night classes for me, until next semester or the one after that.

Being home for a month is going to be the best thing ever. Two weeks of winter break just didn't feel long enough depending on the placement of Christmas and New Years Day. Now I have a month, and there are so many things I need to catch up on. Besides sleep being the number one priority since my sleep schedule is all out of wack, there are some anime and k-dramas that I can start and probably finish or catch up in the matter of days or two weeks at most. And lastly, with me being a bookworm buying so many books, I can start and hopefully finish a few by the time I go back to school.

With my love for k-pop, so many groups that I am a fan of are releasing Christmas albums so I have a lot of Christmas songs to listen besides the classics. Plus, they love to release so many albums and with me being the broke college student that I am, I can't buy any of them. I already bought one of my favorite group, Season Greetings, last month and now all of the other groups are releasing theirs now. It's a sad day as I hope for them to put their songs on Spotify.

To wrap up this long drabble, I hope everyone enjoys their winter break, no matter how long it is, and have a Happy Holidays as we enter the year 2017!

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.
