Even in the dead of winter, there's still plenty to do on Long Island, especially right before the holidays. Whether it's snowing or sunny and 17 degrees (ouch), you can still gather up the nerve to leave the house and explore. Here's 10 things to do on Long Island (or the City) in the winter!

1. The Jones Beach Light Show

Nothing says the holidays like the Jones Beach Light Show. It's been a tradition for years and folks all over Long Island go every time it comes back around.

2. The Rolling Stone Exhibitionism (NYC)

The new Rolling Stones Exhibitionism is open in NYC only until March! Check it out before you have to fly across the ocean just to visit the one in London.

3. The Milleridge Inn

The Milleridge Inn has some of the best Christmas shops, lights and hot chocolate around, perfect for this upcoming week.

4. East Meadow Midnight Run (on New Years Eve)


Who doesn't want to ring in the New Year with something active.

5. Fishing out in Montauk

That is if you're brave enough, and warm enough.

6. Pet a penguin at the LI Aquarium!

Because how can you pass up being that close to everyone's favorite Arctic animal.

7. Shop in Soho, Manhasset, Huntington or Garden City with all your Christmas money.

There's plenty of malls and small villages within these cities for you to shop til you drop.

8. Visit the beaches

What else is there to do for Long Islanders who can't seem to stay away from the beach even when it's cold outside.

9. Ice Skating at Christopher Morely Park

If you don't want to travel all the way into the city, this is the perfect location for ice skating.

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.

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.
