With the abundance of snow, we received this past weekend, many college students are looking for ways to have fun in the snow. Because funds can be tight and a sled may not be in the budget, here are 10 items you can find around your dorm or apartment to use to engage in some sledding activities!

Baking Sheets

The duck seems awfully jealous of this sled option!

Chaela Minor

Even better - spray the bottom of the sheet with PAM cooking spray for a quick, slippery ride down the slopes!

A Laundry Basket

Go ahead and dump your dirty clothes out on the floor and head for the hills....you can always clean later!

A Scholarship Check

Chaela Minor

Thank you so much for your generous support, donor! Your monetary donation will definitely allow for an adventurous ride down Slater!

A Lunch Tray

Surely they won't miss one from the dining courts anyway, right?....

An Air Mattress

Ross Pearson

This group took "lay back and relax" to a whole new level...

A Dry Erase Calendar

That calendar you use in your apartment to keep track of your roommates' schedules? While it works well to keep tabs on everyone, it makes an even better sled. Luckily, you can still use your phone to keep track of your schedule.

A Bird?

Chaela Minor

Birds have recently taken over many college campuses. They offer a quick, easy way to get to class...but an even more joyous ride down a steep, snowy hill.

Garbage Can Lid

But, don't forget to take out the trash first.

Couch Cushions

That furnished apartment you're living in? Who knew it also offered up great resources for some fun in the snow.

A Tote Lid

Chaela Minor

No better way to utilize those empty totes than as a sled, anyway!

Comment below some other fun, household items you've used as sleds to share the wealth of ideas!

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.
