4th of July: Red, White, and Food

In case you weren't aware that the most American of all of the American holidays is upon us or you've been avoiding thinking about all of the food and drink required to keep everyone entertained before the fireworks start, I have complied a list of party favorites so that you don't have to! Time to get on your red (wine), red (wine), and food!

These "Firework Piña Coladas" really put a spark in your step! These delicious and colorful fruity concoctions actually aren't much more difficult to make than regular ones! Link to recipe Here

This is so easy that if I can make it, you certainly can too! All you need is ice cream and sprinkles. Seriously. Recipe here in case you really cant figure it out from this picture.

Red, White, and Blue fruit pizza is what fruitcake is to the Holidays. Everyone brings it and it never gets fully eaten, but the amount of pointless time you spent on it is impressive. Recipe here

I need this in my life like...right now. It's a watermelon blueberry patriotic something that looks delicious. The blue rim seems like too much work but I guess it will look pretty to look at! Link here

This is another one of these super easy recipes that is pretty self explanatory, Strawberry + Chocolate + neon blue sprinkles = happiness.

If someone can tell me how to get them this pretty, I will be forever grateful. This is one of those recipes that seems easy but when you actually do it for yourself it never quite looks the same as the picture. Recipe here if you are willing to try it out and impress your guests!

This is the super easy alcoholic partner to those super easy food recipes we talked about earlier. It's literally a gin and tonic with blueberry and raspberry to give it color. Recipe here for those who still can't figure this out.


Have a happy and safe 4th of July and God Bless America!

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.
