I have always liked living in bigger states

Why I Want To Move To Alaska

Cold

I sweat a lot. I mean a lot. Sometimes, I sweat for no reason. I am not sure why, and I might have some condition. It is simply impossible for me to survive in hot weather, especially if it is all year round, like in Florida. Not to mention that it is getting even more desirable due to climate change. I would love to get the chance to live in Alaska. The winter is simply nostalgic to me. You always feel cozy when it feels like Christmas, and you can drink hot chocolate nearly any time during the week. I know that if I lived in Alaska, it would be unenjoyable over time. When I was younger, I always wanted to move to Florida from New York since it was too cold. Yet, now, I want to move to a colder climate. Maybe, I need to find a city that has a perfect balance, like Sacramento, California.

Daylight

If you don't know already, half the year is sunny all day long during the spring and summer in Alaska. I am not a night person. Even though, the other half of the year, it is dark for 24 hours. I certainly would lose track of time as anyone would. However, for at least six months out of the year, I would be more productive. The other half, probably not so much. Living anywhere has its disadvantages, though. Alaska's day and night schedules are one of them.

Wildlife

I am pretty sure everyone loves animals at least more than their human companions. I am a part of this group, and I love animals. You probably already know that moose roam the outskirts of Anchorage. Anchorage is a big city, though, and it is a perfect balance between civilization and wilderness. Anyone could get away from society if they wanted to.

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.
