8 Reasons To Smile Today

Because spring is upon us and winter weather is still lingering, I figured I'd lift everyone's spirits and make a list of eight reasons why you should smile today.

1. Spring weather.

Good weather leads to good times. There's nothing better than being able to spend your free time outside with your pals instead of suffocating inside in a cold dark room.

2. Because Spring weather is almost upon us. It's Darty Season baby!

I think the term, Darty Season, really speaks for itself when it comes to why it is a reason to smile. Nothin' beats boozin' under the sun with good friends and good music.


3. After Spring comes Summer!

Summer is a time to experience a bunch of new things and to meet lots of new people. How can anyone not smile at the idea of making new friends? Summer also means outside concerts. Nothing and I mean nothing beats a Summer concert.

4. Summer jobs.

Yes, I know it seems odd to say a summer job is a reason to smile, but summer jobs are often filled with new experiences and new experiences mean meeting new people, going to new places, and doing things you've never done and learning things you've never known. Summer jobs are absolutely a reason to smile.

5. Drinks taste better in good weather.

Whether it's lemonade, a piña colada, or a beer, every drink tastes better in better weather.


6. Less clothing.

Another positive of nice weather is the fact that no one really has to wear pants anymore. Thank god. I hate those things. And honestly, you barely have to wear any clothes. No shoes, no shirt, no problems.

7. Summer Hookups.

Not to be a total cheese ball but, summer love is a real thing. Everyone has summer flings. Some are casual, others turn into something more serious, either way, who doesn't love summer flings?


8. Summer Nights.

Beautiful summer nights, when the skies are clear and you can just lay in the grass with your friends and stargaze. Or the nights spent around a fire with friends and some country music. Gotta love summer nights.


There is so much to look forward to and that should be reason enough to put a smile on your face today.

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.
