In This Article:

It's the end of April and May is coming up right behind. May is the typical month where students get out for the summer. May is the marker of long, warm days and chill summer nights. It is a time when we don't have a care in the world. It is arguable one of the best times of the year.

I am a senior in high school. Senioritis has hit me harder than a truck. I have NEVER been so ready to leave somewhere. Next Wednesday is May first. I am ecstatic, summer can't come fast enough.

This summer is going to be as monumental as summer 2016 was. I am speaking it into existence, this one will be the best. There are so many things I'm looking forward to, besides being out of school. I decided to make a list of my top 5 reasons why summer is undefeated.

1. The weather

Basking in the sunlight can be unbearable if you aren't properly equipped, but if you are, it's the best. I get cold easily so when it's warmer I will be very happy.

2. Lake/pool days

I live in the part of Oklahoma where people love going to the lake. If I'm not in my pool, I am at the lake with friends or family.

3. Being tan

Tan me is the best version of myself. I just feel good and my skin gets even clearer. I have never been one to tan in salons either. Being in the summer sun feels great, but stay safe and lather up with sunscreen.

4. Vacations

I love a good trip whether its a vacation with my family or a road trip with friends. There is nothing better than being surrounded by those who mean most to you.

5. Pictures and memories in the making

Making memories are very important to me. You never know when your last moment with someone is. Cherishing yourself and those around you at all times is a must. Memories and pictures are precious bits and pieces of our lives. I want to be able to look at an old photo and remember back to what was going on.

I am excited for summer to begin. These are my favorite things. Warm weather and cute shorts, swimsuits, and sandals need to come my way. I will make this summer fun and safe.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
