Every student's favorite time of year, time to go home for the holidays! But only after the excruciating pain and suffering we know as finals. We all know what its like, and we all love to commiserate over our pain during these strenuous times. So in the midsts of all the panicked studying, here's your quick study break.

1. You're a murderer.

TREE KILLER. Do you see how many pages I'm printing out for this?

2. You say things you don't mean.

Wait, we have a final paper and a final exam? Not that it defeats the purpose of "final" or anything...

3. You promote starvation.

Are we not supposed to eat during finals week? What's with the “special hours” that are virtually nonexistent?!

4. You make it so I can no longer lie to myself.

Apparently studying by osmosis isn’t a real thing… damn it.

5. You nurture suffering.

They call it dead week for a reason. We all look like zombies.

6. You make me question myself.

Making us think we actually are dead… or at least wondering how in the world we are going to get through this next week. Does vacation even exist?

7. You tell me lies.

What? Sleep is an unnecessary social construct? I think there’s science to the contrary…

8. You are detrimental to self-esteem.

Numbers do define us. You can't tell people that numbers don’t define them when our entire education system is based on exactly that!

9. You take my dreams from me.

Home isn’t actually real. Along with the unicorns and my pet brontosaurus.

10. You encourage emotional and mental instability.


How am I? Oh, I'm just on the verge of a mental breakdown because I'm stressed out of my mind and I dropped my pen.

11. You steal our souls.

Really I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't have the time to know that, maybe my soul will come back after finals. Maybe.

And I'll leave you with a dash of hopefulness:

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

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.
