11 Crafts To Make For Your Formal Date

It's formal season and sorority girls love to craft for their date. Whether it be the typical cooler or just something homemade in the kitchen, the "thank you" gifts are getting more and more creative.

1. Cooler

This is the original idea for going to a fraternity formal. You must dedicate a lot of time when making a cooler. The sanding, priming, tracing, painting and sealing can take many days.


2. Flask

This idea is a little more simple. You still have to follow the same steps as a cooler but it is on a smaller scale and doesn't take as much time.


3. Coasters

This gift is crafty and one of the cheapest. The supplies are: tiles, beer cardboard holders, mod podge, scissors and hi-gloss sealant. The tiles are only 16 cents at any hardware store. You can also enjoy the six pack of beer while crafting.

4. Beer Cap Picture

This craft takes a lot of planning if you're trying to make a special design. Once you have collected the caps, mod podge them to the back of the picture frame and let it dry.

5. Beer Cap Picture Frame

This is similar to the beer cap picture but takes less time. Instead of filling the actual picture with caps, you just fill the outside frame.

6. Canvas

Any date would love a hand painted canvas of their favorite sports team, beer or favorite saying. All you need is an idea, tracing paper, and paint.

7. Cookies or any dessert

Baking is crafting right? Everyone loves something sweet and homemade in the kitchen.

8. Bubba Keg

What is better than having your own 52 oz. personal drink? A bubba keg is a perfect small craft that is less work than a cooler but still gives the personal touch.


9. Shot Ski

These are fun and different but a little bit of work. This gift is great for your date that they can share with their friends. It will make them the life of the party.

10. Date Night Trip

Organizing a weekend away is crafty. Whether its a nice hotel on the beach, kayaking, bowling, or something extravagant like a helicopter ride, your date will never expect it.

11. Beer Pong Table

This may be the most time consuming gift, but your date will love it. You must make sure that you seal it together well because beer pong can get messy.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
