Life is full of weird, fantastic occurrences that later down the road come in handy when you are looking for a story to share with friends, family, or coworkers. If you're anything like me, you definitely look to embrace new circumstances or adventures. This bucket list of things to do will surely keep you on your toes for a little while, at least.

1. Dye your hair something other than your natural color.

Who knows, you may love it!

2. Participate in a color run.

Definitely a unique way to make exercise seem way more fun than it actually is.

3. Get up and travel with no destination in mind.

Maybe you'll discover your new favorite place to be.

4. Walk to school/work for a day.

Not only will you have a better appreciation for your regular mode of transportation, you will also get to spend the extra time noticing the things around you that you pass so often on your way.

5. Participate in a protest for something you care about.

Maybe you won't actually hold a sign and go on a march, but taking an active part to help your cause in any way will help you gain a better understanding of yourself and the world around you.

6. Work a service job.

You'll have a whole new level of appreciation for that sales clerk who just rang up your groceries.

7. Go skydiving.

There's nothing quite like falling thousands of feet through the sky from an airplane to make you feel just how small you actually are in the grand scheme of things.

8. Go on a vacation with your best friends.

Sometimes it's not about where you spend your time as much as it's about who you're spending your time with.

9. Spend a night in the wilderness under the stars.

Learn to be in touch with the world(s) around you.

10. Learn to play an instrument.

Who knows, maybe you'll discover a new passion.

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?
