Mid-December is every college student's nightmare.

With classes wrapping up, finals in full swing, and having to separate from your college friends for a month, it's not always the most wonderful time of the year.

One of the worst parts of the end of the semester is packing for winter break. You end up waiting until the last minute, packing every item of clothing you own, and trying to take home whatever you don't need at school anymore. You're weighed down by Vera Bradley duffel bags and overstuffed suitcases and your dad rolls his eyes as he sees you struggle to the car.

What better way to describe this unavoidable disaster than with everyone's favorite accountant, Kevin Malone.

When all of the sudden you're going home in 2 days and nothing has been packed

When you realize you have a ton of food left in the fridge so you take it upon yourself to eat it all so you don't have to throw it out

When you start to make a list of everything that needs to be packed and you panic about how you're going to fit all 35 of your sweaters in one bag

When your roommate is already all packed and ready and you're sitting on the floor surrounded by your clothes about to have a mental breakdown

When you can't find your suitcase

When you finally find your suitcase and it's much smaller than you remember

When you try and pack strategically to maximize your space but it's just not working so you end up throwing everything in and hoping it'll work itself out

When you've given up because you're already in ~vacation mode~

When you try and carry all of your bags to the car in one trip

When you finally make it home and can relax until you have to pack to go back to school in a few weeks

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.
