5 Ways To Fake A Spring Break

Spring Breakers are taking over social media this week by posting tropical pictures of their vacations. If you were stuck in the colder states this week, here are 5 ways to fake a spring break.

1. Self-Tanner

The best (and healthiest) way to fake a tan is to buy a self-tanner from any drug store. Evenly lather it all over your skin for a sun-kissed skin tone. If you want professional results, visit a local tanning salon for a spray tan.

2. Buy a New Bathing Suit

Who cares if you have to wait until the summer to use it! Take some cute selfies of you wearing your new bathing suit to post on social media! Make sure you have a tropical-looking background for believable results.

3. Make Drinks

Spend an afternoon with friends making strawberry daiquiris and mudslides while perfecting their aesthetics. Once complete, bring them outside (for natural lighting) and pose with them wearing your floppiest hat and sunglasses. For extra points, wear your new bathing suit!

4. Walk on a Beach

If you're fortunate enough to live by the beach, go for a walk during the sunset. If you do not live by the beach, take pictures poolside!

5. Stay in Hiding

If you're really committed to faking a spring break, be sure to stay in hiding! You don't want your friends catching you in a lie!


When you return back to campus, EVERYONE will think you had a great time over break at a tropical resort. Just make sure to hide uneven self-tanner streaks and tell believable stories!

Oh the power of social media.

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.

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.
