10 Things To Do This Summer

If you haven't started your summer yet, it will be starting shortly. Summer is the time to catch up with friends and enjoy time with your family. Whether you have vacations or other amusements planned, try to fit in these ten must-dos for the summer.

1. Go to the Drive-Ins

Make plans on a Friday or Saturday night to chill out in a car with some friends or a significant other and enjoy two movies under the stars. These events can create the best memories and show how creative you can get to make it the best night possible.

2. Take on an Adventure

Who's not up for an adventure these days? Adventures let you explore the areas around you, and sometimes, you even stumble upon some pretty rad things that you never knew existed. Take at least one day to go on a hike or road trip to see something you have never seen.

3. Have a Fire

Everyone enjoys a good fire, right? Fires bring new and old friends together to bond and enjoy some laughs. You can tell stories, roast marshmallows, and even jam out to some old tunes. Fires are the way to go for some last minute party planning.

4. Go to Another State


Even if it is a neighboring state, go and see what is different there. Don't go by yourself, but if you need some me time, this road trip will be the best thing for you. Going to another state allows you to explore what else is out there.

5. Get Ice Cream

What is better than an ice cold treat on a hot summer night... nothing! Ice cream is the best treat to enjoy no matter where you live. The best ice cream comes from those little mom and pop ice cream shops, so do not be afraid to try a new one.

6. Go to the Beach

"Let's go to the beach, beach, let's go get away." even Nikki knew what was up. Going to the beach is the best stress reliever for anybody at any age. So pack a bag, hop in the car, and head to the shore to catch some waves and rays.

7. Go to an Amusement Park


Whether you go to a small family park or to a large park where you can spend a couple of days, go on some roller coasters, face your fears, and most of all, enjoy yourself with whomever you wish.

8. Take a Lazy Day

Take a day off from your job and all responsibilities; enjoy a day to yourself. You help others and cater to others all the time, so why not take a day for yourself? Lay out in the sun, read a book, or just take a nap. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy it!

9. Go to the Local Town Park

Take a little stroll down the block and enjoy some time to bring back childhood memories. Even if you just sit down on the bench and look at the sky, just take your time and breathe in the fresh air. Just take some time to breathe...

10. Go to a Concert

Who does not like a good jam session with some friends to a band or artist you all love! Concerts are the trademark of the summer with the tailgates, the drinking games, and the best part, the headliner band. Concerts are where you are in your natural habitat with others who feel the same way you do.

So, take these 10 awesome activities and get out there and make this the best summer ever!

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.
