Going Back to School From Break as Told by a College Student

When being home for so long on winter break, us as college students start to remember how comfortable it is being home. Many thoughts are going through your head as you are about to leave to go back to school, such as "Do I really have to go back", "Community college sounds so good right about now" or for some people it can be " Get me out of this house", or "How many days till I am at school".

Which ever way you feel about school, you have to go back. Going back means you can see all the friends you have been away from for what seems like 10 years but was really only 3 weeks. You can finally spend every minute of the day with them again, and go back to how things use to be before you left.

You finally get to start a fresh semester and bring up that GPA that you may not have been happy with. Starting a new semester is a way to prove to your parents that your not just at school to spend your weekdays sleeping, and your weekend partying. You can show your parents that your grades will go up and stay up.

Going back to school also means that you can finally get your freedom back. You don't have to be home at a certain time, or listen to your parents and about how your room is not clean, or hear them yell at you for no reason. You can finally do what you want and not have to feel guilty about it.

Don't worry if your not ready to go back its ok, you will get through it. Just think that in 4 months you will be home for a longer break, and maybe end up missing your school more than you know.

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.
