10 Activities To Put On Your Summer Bucket List
Comfortable Club

Summer is quickly approaching. Are you looking for fresh activities to keep busy? Here's a list of things that you won't want to miss on your bucket list!

1. Camping.

Some people love being out in the wilderness, others hate it. No matter where you fall, camping (even in your back yard) is a staple summertime activity. If you want to make it a more Pinterest-esq experience, camp under the stars in the back of a pick-up truck with a mattress and tons of pillows!

2. Amusement Park.

Need a thrill this summer? Why not check out your local amusement park's roller coasters. If it has a water park too, that's so a plus!

3. Volunteer somewhere.

During the school year, we have so much less time to give back to the community. Now, it's the summer and you have tons of extra time. This is the perfect opportunity to find a cause you are passionate about and help out!

4. Go on a picnic in the park.

Make sandwiches, bring the blanket, and bring some refreshing drinks! Whether it's with a significant other, friends, or family, people underrate the fun of this old-fashioned fun!

5. Reconnect with an old friend.

As time goes by, we lose touch with people that we used to be so close with. Why not make an effort to reconnect and bring back a beautiful connection?

6. Garden.

Plant something! Whether it's a pot of flowers or tomatoes, it'll be fun to watch your plant grow. Also, making sure you water your little garden each day will give you some structure amidst your free time.

7. Have an arts n crafts day

Do you like scrap booking? Painting? Sculpting with clay? Set aside a day to embrace your creative side. If you need a little help to get started, go to your local crafts store and get a kit.

8. Ride on a bike trail

This is super relaxing and a great source of exercise. Find a park or a local camp site that has a trail and get pedaling!

9. Try a DIY food video that you've been eyeing

Save this one for a rainy day inside. You know you want to try one of those Tasty videos going around Facebook. There are tons of homemade recipes that you've been eager to try. What's stopping you?

10. Go through old clothes

Clean out your closet and get rid of all those clothes that you haven't touched in forever. It'll be refreshing and maybe some of it can be sold to consignment for some extra cash.

Make memories this summer that you won't forget! Don't forget to make the most of this time off!

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.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
