10 Reasons to Get Excited for Fling

It's official: Kygo and Kesha will be headlining this year's Spring Fling concert. Yet beyond just the concert itself, there are many reasons why Spring Fling at Penn is one of the most anticipated events of the year. Here's why you (especially any first-timers) should be excited for Fling:


1. The fried Oreos in the Quad.

You shouldn't eat them, but there are only so many times you can walk by that booth and resist the temptation.

2. An excuse to wear fanny packs (and witty tank tops) …

When else can you get away with wearing a Fling outfit but during Fling itself?

3. … plus the chance to show off your spring break tan.

Fling weekend is probably one of the first weekends when it's actually warm enough to break out summer clothes and show off that hard-earned tan from spring break.

4. Performances from all of your favorite student groups!

Still upset that you missed that Mask and Wig show or Glee Club performance? See all of your other favorite student performers take the stage in the Upper and Lower Quad.

5. Perfect weather (hopefully).

Even some rain wouldn't be horrible as long as it is warm.

6. All of the accompanying on-campus festivities...

You'd think it was NSO again, except now you actually know everyone!

7. …and the off-campus ones, too.

Fling is the perfect excuse to escape the Penn bubble and celebrate downtown.

8. For upperclassmen: the chance to relive your days in the Quad.

Because really, when was the last time you had an excuse to spend so much time in the Quad?

9. One last weekend of craziness at Penn before finals/graduation.

Finals? Graduation? Nah, you don't need to worry about that yet.

10. The fact that summer is right around the corner!

As Fling weekend winds down, the realization that the school year is almost over sets in … but it's not the worst thing in the world. That well-deserved break from classes is almost here!

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.

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?
