The Care Package You Actually Want

The Care Package You Actually Want

With spring break heading towards us, we have been dodging the calories and hitting up the gym, but you may be forgetting about some of the fun things that are involved with spring break -- and it may just come with a coupon code.

Being women on the go, we rarely have time to go and try new products, or even do the research to figure out what products we like. Sure, we have our friends telling us what they like and what didn’t work for them, but when you are so busy it becomes frustrating, and the only thing you are looking forward to when you wake up in the morning is going back to sleep again at night.   

Spring break gives us that hope. Each week we tell ourselves only five more weeks, every crunch we do we say it will be worth it, and every time you say no to fast food, you remind yourself that it is better off this way.   

But I am writing to you about something that comes between now and spring break -- the Kites and Ivy spring break box. Similar to the care packages you received when you first moved into the dorms, but without the calories and stale chips you threw out, you will receive the care package before spring break, full of fun products and surprises related to the wonderful vacation that we so deserve; it is something to brighten your semester before you get to see the sunshine and the sand between your toes.            

The box is worth over $40, and continues to grow with the products that the amazing founders of the company keep filling in it. The founders are sorority woman, like most of you, who are just trying to make our hectic schedules a little less chaotic and a lot more fun.   

Make sure to check out their website, kitesandivy.com and use the coupon code BALLSTATE5 for $5 off your spring break box! Getting the mail has never been this fun!

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.
