Grab an $8 float at MC Sport, a cooler, and head downtown to catch the Chip River. You can get in and out wherever you want -- it's a great time, with great friends, in great weather.

15. Special Olympics -- Michigan

One of the best experiences I've had so far! Thousands of athletes come to compete and their gratitude for your willingness to volunteer is unforgettable.

Check out my previous article about Special Olympics: here.

16. Welcome Weekend

It's a must! There are so many events throughout the weekend-- you can get involved with a Student Organization, catch some free music, entertainment, food, rides, giveaways and so much more! Also not a bad weekend to take a walk down Main Street and see what's going on!

17. Experience Wayside

I have nothing to say besides you have to experience it at least once.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

8545

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
