Daaamn college, back at it again with the midterms. No sleep, 12 cups of coffee, late library sessions; please make it stop. Midterms are basically a reminder that you’re halfway through the semester and that you need to get your sh*t together. Sounds fun, right? Not really. Cramming a whole bunch of homework, papers and studying is exhausting. Balancing extracurricular activities on top of it all is even more exhausting. No wonder why college students are basically walking zombies.

When midterms roll around, we all hop on the struggle bus. But always remember: no matter how stressful, tiring and frustrating it can be, hard work pays off. Here are 14 thoughts you may have when you’re studying for your midterm.

1. I need to stop procrastinating.

Procrastination station is my favorite stop. But I can’t stay there too long.

2. Professor said the test is cumulative. Rude.

You’re tellin’ me that I have to know everything from the beginning of the semester up until now? Bye, Felicia.

3. Ok. When did we ever learn this?

No really! When?! Did I miss something?

4. A quick study break won’t hurt me.

Studying for more than five minutes calls for a 20 minute break. Then we start all over again.

5. I’m hungry.

But then again, when am I not?

6. Stress eating calories don’t count.

They just don’t, okay?!

7. Maybe I’ll take a nap.

And by nap, I mean sleep until tomorrow. Don’t wake me up.

8. *Scrolls on Facebook and Instagram*

Because I really need to see who posted a new pic of their food.


9. I need coffee. Even though it gives me anxiety.

How am I supposed to get through studying without any caffeine? Is that even possible?


10. Whatever, I’m anxious enough as it is.

One cup of coffee can’t hurt.

11. Who needs sleep? LOL JK, I do.

If I don’t get my eight hours, I’ll be a witch. No all-nighters for me.

12. Counting down the days until summer.

Which reminds me, I need to download the Countdown app.

13. I need my bed. My bed needs me.

It’s calling my name. Sorry bae, I’ll be there soon.


14. What was I doing again? Oh yeah, studying.


Just a reminder: If you didn't do as well as you wanted to on your midterm, that's okay! It's only one test and you'll do better next time. Don't beat yourself up over it. Good luck!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
