Do's And Don'ts: The Art Of Brunch

Without a doubt, the best way to spend a weekend morning is at brunch. Catching up with friends on what has happened over the past week (and usually a highlight reel of the night before) while eating the best meal of the day can't be beat.

There is something special about sharing a meal with friends, but it's an added bonus when you can be slightly a hot mess, too -- think Sex and the City brunch. Whether you are enjoying the ambiance at your college dining commons, or have made the trek to a nicer spot in a city, there are some classic do's and don't's on how to make the most of your brunch experience.

Do: Make sure to bring all of your friends.

Ladies and gentlemen, this may just be the single most important tip. Brunch is not the same when it's just you and your to-go container with a breakfast sandwich. Brunch is to be enjoyed in the company of your closest pals. It's worth taking the time out of your week to relax with your friends before getting back to work.

Don't: Underestimate the healing powers of breakfast foods.

There truly is nothing like going to brunch to make you feel better. If it's been a tough week, or was just a rough night before, nothing perks you up like a freshly made omelette and maybe a Bloody Mary or mimosa... or two.

Do: Splurge a little.

Whether that means having an extra mini donut or spending the extra money on a fancy brunch once in a while, it's worth it. There's literally nothing else like brunch. #TreatYourself

Don't: Splurge a lot.

I once went to brunch in Soho and spent $7 on a champagne flute full of orange juice I watched them pour out of a carton. Lesson learned? The best brunch doesn't have to be the most expensive brunch.

Do: Make memories.

I know this may seem like a little much, but some of the funniest memories are either made during brunch or recounted for years to come over your stack of pancakes. Being able to fill your friends in on what you've been up to (or have them fill you in on what you've been up to, depending on how the week has been going), is an underrated highlight of the weekend.

Don't: Wait too long.

Long lines or the leisurely pace of brunch are not suited for the hangry type. If you're the notorious hangry friend who needs to get their meals in on time, make sure to either call ahead or hit your favorite brunch spot a little earlier than the crowd. Same rules apply for waiting too long to find the value of a great brunch -- there are only so many weekends to enjoy the glory of brunch, so hop on the bandwagon now!

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.
