Coming home after first semester like...

1. Crying when you finally get to see your pet

Giphy

MY LOVE IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG!!!!!!

2. Crying some more when you meet up with your best friend

Giphy

MY OTHER LOVE I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!

3. Crying a third time when your favorite dish is made for dinner

Giphy

WOW THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DINNING HALL!!!

4.  Telling yourself you have to stop crying because you haven't been away that long to begin with 

Giphy

Wow okay sorry about that y'all, I'm feeling better. I'm just happy to be home.

5. Finding joy in the little things of your home town

Giphy

I love this corner. I used to pass it all of the time but loo now some flowers are growing underneath the stop sign. Incredible.

6. Sleeping. In. 

Giphy

Enough said.

7. Panicking because you think you have homework but then you remember that you don't have to do any homework 

Giphy

You mean I can just watch Netflix without any stress?

8. Feeling like your in high school again when you go out and just hang with some friends

I don't have to worry about anything. What's college debt? What's that B+ that should have been an A? I don't know all I know is that I'm back.

9. Getting excited for the holidays again 

Giphy

I have no money but I am going to try to buy everyone the best gifts.

10. Letting the happiness wash over you because you are finally home and you just get to enjoy it for four-ish weeks

This will be the best month of my life, I know 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.

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.
