It could be really annoying being home for the summer and having nothing to do on your day off. But, it is even worse when you can't figure out what you want to do in that spear time. You only have four months home and have lots of time for adventure and open opportunities. Life is so much better when you are trying new things and waking up not knowing what the day has in store for you. So, here are a couple of things to do over the summer when you can't think of anything.

1. Go for an early morning run on the beach.

Nothing is more energizing knowing that you are waking up and getting some exercise in.

2. Bake or cook something completely new.

Even if the recipe seems sort of complicated, just give it a try. You never know

3. Go explore the closest city near you!

I am lucky enough to have NYC right in my backyard and you there are always new things going on.

4. Explore Pinterest.

Make a DIY project and make a day out of it! I mean who doesn't love shopping around in Michael's anyway?

5.Binge watch a new T.V. series that you didn't think you would like.

You would be surprised as to what catches your eye.

6. Sell stuff on Ebay.

Ok, I know this doesn't sound like fun. But, if you clean up your room, you could find some really great things that you can sell and plus it is easy money.

7. Go to your local farmer's market.

Even if you aren't big into cooking it is cool just walk around!

8. Go to a baseball game!

I mean hey, it is America's past-time.

9. Take yourself shopping!

It is good to treat yourself every once in awhile so why not!?

10. Read a book!


Whether its a book series or just something you have been dying to read, go escape into another world with a new book.

11. Redecorate your room!

Change up your bedroom with some new sheets and pictures to keep it more updated.

12. Go out to a new restaurant!

Eat food that you have never eaten before and that is totally outside of your comfort zone. You may surprise yourself.

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?
