"Where do you go to school?"

"Oh, is that in Lubbock? Is there even anything to do in Lubbock?"

Have you ever been faced with answering these types of questions after your move to the good old LBK? If you have, what has been your answer?

For those of you who, like me, didn't think there was anything to do in Lubbock before you got here, are left stumped trying to answer this question, then I have some good news for you.

Here are five things to do in Lubbock to make all the skeptics wish they too lived in the Hub City.

1. Watch a movie at the Stars and Stripes Drive-In

How hard is it to find an actual drive-in movie theatre these days? Stress no more because Lubbock has a one, perfect for college students on a budget. You can view two movies for the price of one! Grab your truck and some friends and head out to catch a recent release.


2. Go hiking at Ransom Canyon

Ransom Canyon is known for being one of the two great hiking places (Palo Duro Canyon being the other) near Lubbock, and almost everyone takes a trip out to hike there. You won't want to miss the view!


3. Check out Buffalo Springs Lake

Buffalo Springs Lake is not too far from Lubbock and if you are looking for the best lake around, then this is it. The lake is perfect place for water fun activities, grilling out, and spending the day relaxing on the water.


4. Go to the First Friday Art Trail

Take a walk through Lubbock’s Cultural District on the first Friday of every month and see some of the best art galleries and have an opportunity to meet the artists.


5. Watch the sunset

The sunsets in Lubbock are probably some of the most gorgeous sunsets you will ever see during your time here on Earth. Find a spot in town or drive out into the countryside, and watch the sunset. It's not something you will want to miss!


Prove the skeptics wrong with your awesome weekend plans, and have a great time!

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.
