So, school is starting back. I know, I can't believe it either. When you think about school beginning again, it's highly likely that you have mixed emotions about it. Personally, I can't wait to be back on campus with my friends. It will be so nice to be going out on the weekends, watching movies with pals, and moving into a brand new dorm room with unlimited decorative possibilities. However, I sure wish that the homework, exams, and tears could be put on hold. I'm sure you feel the same way I do about the new year, but luckily some good jams will make the whole process much less painful. Here's some of my favorite songs at the moment that will carry you through studying, parties, and working out.

1. For your workout.

It's the beginning of a new year, and this means a clean slate. It's time to get back in touch with those fitness goals you set for yourself over the summer, and attack your health and wellness with new vigor. This can be the year that you take control of your physical health, and these songs will help pump you up!

"Too Good" // Drake ft. Rihanna

"Don't Mind" // Kent Jones

"Really? Yeah!" // Kyle

"Really Really" // Kevin Gates

"Nightshift" // Pryde

2. For those all-nighters.

It's inevitable that one night this year you will find yourself staying up until the wee hours of the morning cramming for an exam or writing a research paper. When the caffeine just isn't enough, these songs will give you a boost.

"The Princess Diaries Waltz" (From the Soundtrack) // John Debney

"Sleeping in My T-Shirt" // Zak Waters

"Love on The Brain" // Rihanna

"Better" // Kyle Dion

"Prisoner" // Jordan Bratton ft Chance the Rapper

3. For your nights with gal pals.

It's super important to maintain your friendships at school, even if homework and exams make you want to hole up in a corner and be alone. This girl power playlist will make time with pals super fun!

"Sit Still, Look Pretty" // Daya

"Needed Me" // Rihanna

"Side to Side" // Ariana Grande ft Nicki Minaj

"Cool Girl" // Tove Lo

"Me Too" // Meghan Trainor

4. For motivation.

Without fail, there will be some days when you just feel like you can't keep going. A test may have ruined your day, or you might have experienced a subtle snub from a friend. No matter the stressor, these songs will get you back on track!

"Lunatic" // Andry Grammer

"Once in a While" // Timeflies

"You Gotta Be" // Des'ree

"Must Have Done Something Right" // Reliant K

"Satisfied" // Crystal Lewis

5. For parties.

Nothing helps quell the week's stress like dancing the night away with friends on the weekend. These songs will make you instantly cooler!

"Broccoli" // D.R.A.M. ft. Lil Yachty

"Controlla" // Drake

"For Free" // DJ Khaled ft. Drake

"I'm About to Catch a Body" // Dreezy - Xtra Remix

"On Purpose" // Dougie F ft. 40 Cobras

I know that school - and the work that comes with it - starting back can be a bit of a drag, but hopefully these tunes make it all a little bit better. Let me know if there's any songs you think I left off! Happy listening and good luck with school! Crush it.

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.
