When you think of Spring Break, you often think of warm, sunny locations down south. In fact, when first starting to plan my vacation, I instantly thought of Florida beaches and Caribbean cruises. However, when challenged to think outside the book, my planning diverted from the south to the east coast, focusing on these five cities that are a bucket list must!

Washington D.C.

Of course, any citizen of the United States of America should make at least one trip to our nation's capital. This city is packed full of history and current politics, making it a hot spot for history buffs. It's quite impossible to see everything in one week, but be sure not to miss the White House, Capitol Hill, the memorials and monuments, and the Smithsonian museums!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This fun city tends to be favorite by many! The Historical District is a must-see, as well as Rocky Steps. Enjoy a beloved Philly Cheesesteak while checking out the Liberty Bell in this city.

New York City, New York

I once was told that you haven't lived until you visit NYC. While I still fall into the category of 'not living', I hear the top sights in this city are the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Times Square is a hit, especially near New Year's Eve. This city is hopping with great tourist sights and fun downtown!

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If you are looking to still hit the beach but don't want to end up in Florida, this location is the perfect place for you! When not wading in the water or tanning in the sunlight, check out Ripley's Aquarium and the SkyWheel!

Annapolis, Maryland

Home of the United States Naval Academy, this town is neat to visit to witness the rich history and culture. Tour the Naval Academy to see where some of the top United States Navy Officers are being cultivated. Maryland's Statehouse is also located here.

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.
