On a Tropical Island

What better way to feel like you are on a tropical island then a smoothie? There are numerous smoothie places to choose from on campus, but one of the best is Jamba Juice. There are so many choices to choose from and you can pick which everyone you would like. You can pick from mango smoothies to strawberry or pineapple smoothies. There is every sort of fruit you would like to eat from all over the orld and from every tropical island. The energy bowls at Jamba Juice will make you feel like you are eating breakfast in front of an expansive ocean. Pairing the energy bowl with a fresh squeezed juice will make you feel like the ocean is right next to you.

Roaming around Japan

From the first steps into the restaurant, you will feel like you have transported across the land and ocean to Japan. The restaurant is called Sakanaya in Champaign. The miso soup will warm your soul on a cold winter day when you really need to get away from studying and take a break. The classic rolls are great if you want something light and don’t want anything adventurous. When you want adventure and want the real experience of being transported to another country, try some of the signature rolls. There is even food for the non-sushi lovers. They have noodles as well as other entrees that will blow your mind with how delicious they are.

Say "Ciao" to Champaign and "Hello" to Italy

Minneci’s in Champaign has some of the best pasta I have ever had. You can either be transported to Italy at the restaurant or have Italy delivered right to your dorm or apartment. I have only had Italy delivered to my dorm, but it is like bringing Italy to your room. The smells fill your room with the scents of Italy. You can have all your favorite Italian foods brought right to you in this little town called Champaign.

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.
