Summertime is a time that is full of excitement and adventure. However, if you live in a small town, it's hard to find stuff to do. Here are 5 things small town folks do during Summer.

1. Backroad Cruisin'

There is nothing better than jamming to a song with your best friends on an old dirt road late at night. It doesn't even matter what song it is, it automatically becomes your favorite song.

2. Swimming

It doesn't matter whose pool it is, you can catch us all soakin' up the sun with some of our best friends.

3. Parking Lot Party

In my hometown, the high school parking lot is always the place to go. Doesn't matter if you've graduated last year or you're a freshman in high school, you'll catch a huge group of people out there late on a Summer night.

4. Movie Nights

It's always been a huge hit to have friends over, stuff your faces and watch all of your favorite movies. Somehow I always got tortured with having to watch horror movies, but hey I made some of my favorite memories that way.

5. Late Night Food Runs

Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, etc. have been my go to food places so much during the summer. It's also a lot more funny if your friend orders their food in a funny voice and confuses the cashier.

Summertime is the best time. The memories you make will last a lifetime. Although there isn't an abundance of fun things to do in small towns, there's a lot of fun people to do things with. But you've got to love....

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.

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.
