We all know that in college, there are the people who like to party and there are people who don't. There are some people who want to go out occasionally and some people who don't.


I'm one of those people. So here are 10 things I do instead of going out to party.


1. Homework

How lame, but when I think about it, I'd rather get my homework done on a Friday then continuously putting it off until last minute. I can honestly say, this didn't happen very often. What can I say? It's the weekend.


2. Play my roommate's Xbox

I mean, who DOESN'T want to shoot zombies?

3. Watch Netflix

Binge-watching "Friends," "That 70s Show," "The Walking Dead," "Saw," and so many awesome shows is one of my go-to ways of entertainment.

4. Reading

I can honestly tell you that I've read SO many books while my roommates were out partying. I love reading.

5. Have a party by yourself

I mean, who says you can't have a good time in your own space? (Note: This is for those over the age of 21.)

6. Go to bed early

I mean, sure staying out until 2 or 3 AM is fun, but getting a full night's rest is even better.

7. Invite a friend over

Not everyone you know likes to party. Inviting a friend over is a great way to have fun without going out.

8. Grab a bite to eat on or off campus

I mean, If your campus has food that's open, why not?

9. Find an event that is happening on campus

Honestly, campuses have things happening even during the weekend and at nights. I can't tell you how many movies, games of condom bingo, and other random events I went to/go to.

10. Other social media platforms

We all know that millennials love social media. Why not get caught up on everything your favorite celebs are up to?


If all else fails, go out to a party the next party your friends/roommate(s) go to. But just know, there are other FUN things to do, without partying.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
