One thing a Long Island summer can’t be complete without is dessert! Nothing better than coming home from a long day at the beach and stopping for desert! Though there are hundreds of places across Long Island that are great for food, these are the 7 seven places to go for that special snack.

1. Kilwin’s

Besides having multiple locations, including even other states, Kilwin’s is one of the most trusted names in ice cream for just a quick cone when out with friends. They also have the best fudge around. Their flavor selection is vast and the quality of the ice cream is through the roof.

2. Hershey's Ice Cream in West Islip

Another great ice cream joint that even makes milkshakes similar to the fancy ones that are trending right now from Black Taft!

3. Any Ralph’s

Ralph’s is a Long Island staple so I shouldn’t even have to say anything at all without everyone already knowing the wonder that is Ralph’s.

4. Diner By The Sea

If you’re unfamiliar, Diner By The Sea is in Long Beach and makes some of the most delicious and cutest milkshakes across Long Island. Not only are they so fun to take pictures of, but most shakes come with little props like a crazy straw or a pair of funky sunglasses in the cup.

5. The Witches Brew

Being a Hofstra student my guilty pleasure has to be The Witches Brew because of its close proximity and really cool vibe! But their coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, and desserts are perfect especially for a cold winter night.

6. International Delight Café

Another classic joint, the café is known for its waffles and ice cream but one of my personal favorites happens to be the case of ice cream that lines the front wall with 30+ flavors! (Definitely try the Rainbow cookie cake).

7. Marvel Frozen Dairy

And last but not least, Marvel! If you’re going to take a trip to Long Beach or you live close by, Marvel’s soft serve is out of this world! It wouldn’t be a Long Island summer without it!

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
