If your new in town this semester, or a seasoned veteran, don't let the cold (or the small size of Auburn) make you feel like there's nothing to do this winter.

Check out these places and try something new!

1. Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art

If you've been around Auburn at least once, I'm sure you've spotted this gorgeous building with the manicured lawn and lovely pond (adorned with two peculiar bunnies). So you've seen the art museum, but have you taken a journey inside? The museum features an ever-changing temporary exhibit that changes every few months alongside permanent installations that tease your mind. While you're there, stop by the cafe for a bite to eat or visit on one of the poetry reading nights and have a drink at the bar. Whatever you do, you'll enjoy your time here.

Address: 901 S College St, Auburn, AL 36830


2. Kiesel Park

A quaint dog park on the edge of Auburn, Kiesel Park is home to beautiful paths and relaxing ponds. Take your furry friend out for a sunny play date, or gather your friends for a picnic and a game of frisbee in one of the open fields.

Address: 520 Chadwick Ln, Auburn, AL 36832

3. Towncreek Park and Cemetery

Behind the art museum, this park has walking trails and an outside gym. Take an adventure up to the graveyard and visit the past as you walk amongst the gravestones .

Address: 1150 S Gay St, Auburn, AL 36832


4. Tuskegee National Forest

A short drive away from Auburn brings you to the natural Tuskeegee National Forest. A great place for a day hike, with trails ranging from a couple of miles to eight miles there and back!

Address: 125 National Forest Rd 949, Tuskegee, AL 36083

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. 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.
