Well, we're almost there, folks. We're almost at the end of the semester. Today, as I'm writing this article, it's a super sunny and nice day. I just got back from taking some artsy pictures at a park by my school and got ice cream with my best friend.

Days like today make me super excited for summer. Days like today make me think of all the good things that summer is going to have in store for me.

1. Beach days.

Sunny days on the beach with friends or my cousins are what I live for.

2. Nights on the boardwalk.

Nights walking the boardwalk and going to the rides are the best, especially after a beach day.

3. Windows down, country music BLASTING!

No explanation needed.

4. Sleeping in after late nights.

Since I don't get to sleep in during the school year, sleeping in after being out all night is GREAT.

5. Swimming.

I'm one of those girls who love to actually swim. I don't care if my hair gets wet. I just want to be a freaking mermaid.

6. Night swimming.

Honestly, swimming at any time in the day is great, but there's something better about night swimming.

7. Bonfires.

Filled with friends, s'mores, and good times.

8. ICE CREAM!

Again, no explanation needed. It's my favorite treat year-round.

9. Chill nights with friends.

Even though there are so many of those crazy nights, it's just as nice to have chill nights, just listening to music, catching up with friends, and talking about life.

10. Tan skin and light hair.

I swear I look and feel my best when I'm tan and have my blonde hair.

Sunny days like today make me so happy and excited for summer. Honestly, summer is my THRIVING season, and I can't wait for all the warm and sunny days ahead! Only a couple more weeks and we'll be there!

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.
