Christmas, Man.

Winter Break, As Told By "New Girl"
Kevin Foyle

Winter break has a lot going for it. Christmas for one is the best holiday's ever. You get tons of presents and eat tons of cookies and nothing is better than that. Hanukkah sounds cool too, 8 days of presents. You really can't go wrong with presents. New Years is about celebrating with friends and all that good stuff. But when you are in college and come home, winter break lasts FOREVER. A whole month of boredom. You aren't going out all the time like you are at school, you don't have anything you need to be doing and I can bet that there isn't anything super interesting to do in your town. It is high school all over again. It can be good though, lets not be debbie downers. Holidays are the shit. Anyway this is how most college kids winter breaks end up going.

When you sleep in your room by yourself the first night back...

When your relatives ask you about how your first semester was...

When you try to wrap your presents...

When you are reunited with your home friends once again...

When you get way to into the christmas spirit...

When you get all of the presents you wanted...

When you can't get away from your relatives...

When you get the squad together for New Years...

When you see the that one boy from high school at the New Years Eve party...

When New Years hits you too hard...

How bored you are once the big holidays are over...

Not having to eat dorm food for a whole month...

When you see the people from high school that you hate...

Saying goodbye to your home friends until the summer on the outside...

Saying goodbye to your home friends on the inside...

When you can't handle being at home any longer...


Have a good winter break everybody!

P.S.Happy Holidays!

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.
