1. Relax

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure ladies, or maybe deep condition your hair, use a face mask, take a bubble bath. Whatever relaxes you.

2. Brain Work

Do a crossword, or a word search, read a book, or maybe get ahead on some homework that we all know you have been procrastinating on.

3. Be Productive

Flickr

Get some cleaning done! Clean your makeup brushes, your bathroom, your room or organize your closet. Go outside and clean out your vehicle!

4. Be Adventurous

There are so many fun and cool things to do. Start your own blog, plan a party, go on a hike, visit a museum, get an idea for your next tattoo, plan your next vacation. Do a photo shoot with your friend or pets, or just start driving go some place new!

5. Do Some Meal Prep

Don't lie: everyone hates the question "what's for dinner?" So plan a few meals in advance. Plan to go out to dinner or search and try out a few new recipes.

6. Get Fit

One thing that always makes you feel better is some good exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot, do some yoga, a few sit-ups. You can do anything really!

7. Try Something New

Flickr

What's something you have never done or have always wanted to do? Find a place you could spend some free time volunteering at or look for another job if needed. Start some DIY projects that could turn into a profit.

8. Set Goals

Flickr

It's never too late to dream. Take some time to write down your goals or even what you want out of life the most. Maybe where you are going next. Set your goals and aim high - surprise yourself and get there!

9. Party!

Flickr

Whether you're home alone, with your dog, with your family, or some friends: find some alcohol (or no alcohol who cares about your choice.) Get that perfect playlist out and crank that sh** and dance, sing, or scream. Have some fun!

10. Last, but not least...take a nap.

TAKE A NAP. SLEEP HELPS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
