The DO's and DON'Ts of Summer

As with all aspects of life, there are do’s and do not’s. For example; taking a nap is 100 percent completely fine and I would actually recommend a siesta, but taking a nap instead of going to work is not recommended unless you are trying to get fired. So for summer time there are many do’s and do not’s that will make your life much easier and a little more enjoyable. So without further ado, let’s get this list going.


DO drink beer, it’s mostly water anyways.
DON’T drink and drive, seriously, that’s never okay. Take a cab.
DO eat Popsicles, all that sugar is great for keeping up energy.
DON’T forget to drink the melted Popsicle at the bottom, that’s the best part.
DO go to the beach, soak up those glorious sun rays.
DON’T get funky sun burn lines, peeling is no fun.
DO go to America themed parties, as many as you can.
DON’T be that guy at the parties, modesty is important.
DO wear sun screen, saggy leathery skin is gross.
DON’T use the spray sun screen, apparently it’s not good for you.
DO eat as much food as possible, whenever possible.
DON’T forget to work off that beer and BBQ gut.
DO listen to Jimmy Buffet and drink a piña colada.
DON’T watch Jaws, even today that movie will scare you.
DO hookup with someone, unless you already have a relationship, cheating ain’t cool.
DON’T sit inside all day, that’s what winter is for.
DO hang out with your friends and sweat your a$$ off in this heat.
DON’T shoot roman candles at each other, no matter how fun that sounds.
DO travel, see those places you’ve always wanted too but haven’t had the time.
DON’T work all summer, summer is here and gone before you know it.


There you have it folks, enjoying summer is easy. The hardest part is to come up with ideas to do in this heat without dying of heat stroke. Take my advice and have fun, but don’t be stupid. Because if you do not take my advice, don’t blame me, I warned you.

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.
