You've been out of school for almost a month now.

All if not most of that month was spent with family. And being with family means being home in your hometown. Which also means home-cooked meals and your laundry being done. But break is now dwindling down for most of us and even ending this week if your school is like mine. The saddest part of break ending is having to go from being home to going back to the adult world and actually doing things on your own. Which to me is no fun, who actually wants to cook themselves? Any break ending is always the worst time for me, I hate leaving my family to go be an actual adult again.

School starts and the relaxing lazy days end. Break ending is actually the worst.

When you realize that break is actually almost over 

Your mom reminded you or you got the email from school. Either way, break is ending and it is awful.

Trying to read the "pre-class reading"

Whoever invented this is awful and it truly marks the beginning of the end (of break).

When you try not to wear any clean clothes so that you don't have to do any laundry for a few weeks when you get back 

So what if you're wearing a pink bunny costume. If it means no laundry for a few weeks, it's okay.

Getting back to your apartment or dorm and realizing that your roommates broke something 

You left, the roommate stayed. They threw a party or something and broke a chair. Did they tell you, no. Did you fall when you sat in it, yes.

When all your friends start talking about the amazing trips they went on during break

You stayed home and watched TV the whole time. But you don't see us bragging about it.

Trying to spend your last few days of break literally doing nothing 

Even if you have stuff to do, you still do nothing,

Having to go back to your creepy roommate if you live in the dorms 

They're always there next to you. You don't even know where they came from most of the time.

When you get back before all your friends and are all alone 

Someone always has to be the first one back, this time it is you.

When you have to eat on your own, after having your mom feed you for the last month 

Cheese counts as milk, right?

When all of your friends are finally back 

Everyone is finally reunited and it's time to celebrate the new year!

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
