As you approach your senior year of college, could this be your last summer vacation? If so, here is a list of a few things you should take full advantage of.

1. Stay up as late as possible.

Even if you have work in the morning, try and stay up, and do something fun.

2. Go to the beach.

On your days off, take advantage of the great beaches New England has to offer.

3. Play lawn games.

Kan Jam, ladder golf, wiffle ball and everything in between.

4. Sleep.

This goes without saying. Once you are in the real world, there will be little time for sleep. So, hit that snooze button.

5. Abuse your student discount.

Most outlets and stores have student discounts. Use them as much, and as frequently, as possible.

6. Learn how to cook.

A skill that most college students do not have that will be crucial when you're in the real world.

7. Listen to music in your car extremely loudly with your windows down.

I feel like this is a little less acceptable as a working professional.

8. Party.

Enjoy yourself but always be safe.

9. Do something you enjoyed as a kid.

Pick up an old hobby like playing basketball or hiking.

10. Sit around a fire with friends.

Tell stories around the fire with drinks and s'mores.

11. Look forward to the best year of your life.

I can't wait for what the year has in store.

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.
