It is nearing the end of the semester, and everyone knows what that means. You are graduating from college or high school, moving onto the next level of schooling, or maybe transferring to a new school. Summer is approaching, which means time to try new things before coming back to another year or even starting your life with your brand new degree.

Here are new things to do during the summer before returning to another mundane year:

1. Go to a concert.

Pick your favorite artist, grab a friend, and be able to say that you have a summer highlight.

2. Take up a new hobby.

Whether it is crochet, painting, hiking, or even bike riding, take the chance and learn some new skills.

3. Go to a midnight premiere.

A lot of times people don't want to go to a midnight premiere because of the late times. Speaking from experience, it is a whole other experience considering that it's filled mostly with people who are fans of the movie.

4. Go to an amusement park.

Grab some friends, and go on the scariest ride there. Learn to conquer your fears.

5. Attend or host a bonfire.

Who doesn't love a giant fire?

6. Go to the beach.

Living in Jersey, at least every other weekend you can find me down the shore.

7. Go kayaking.

See how much you can trust your friends by being in a little boat together.

8. Go camping.

Who doesn't love nature and animals?

9. DIY with your BFFs.

Make some matching tie-dye.

10. Go to the State Fair.

Carnival food, rides, games, prizes! All in fun with your friends!

11. Go to a diner at 1 in the morning.

Late night conversations can be fun and interesting.

12. Take a walk around town with your friends and see what your town really has to offer.

You're so used to living there that you pass some hidden gems every day without even realizing it.

13. Take a road trip/vacation with your friends or family.

Just you, them, and open road.

14. Throw a picnic.

Make it Pinterest worthy.

15. Go berry picking.

Who doesn't love fresh hand-picked berries? You can't get more fresh than straight off the bush.

16. Get involved in a summer romance.

Find that special someone... for the summer.

17. Learn a new language.

French, Spanish, German, Italian, Latin, etc. The list is endless when it comes to languages.

18. Throw a pool party.

Swimming, friends, and day in the sun.

19. Throw a sleepover.

Meet up with those friends you haven't seen all school year. I am pretty sure they miss you, and this is a way to catch up.

20. Spend time with the family.

Time goes by so fast, and if you have younger siblings, they grow up so fast as well.

21. Go to a food truck festival.

So many different foods to try!

22. Learn to do a gymnastic trick.

Backflip, cartwheel, round off, front flip, etc. It may come in handy some day. You never know.

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.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
