With the heat rising and sunny skies starting to appear, the three-day weekend is finally calling out our name. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, sitting around a bonfire, or enjoying a backyard BBQ; these five cocktails are sure to pair nicely with whatever your holiday weekend has in store.


Citrus Mojito; a cool and refreshing drink. Great for lounging by the pool working on that tan.

Start by muddling oranges, limes, sugar, and mint leaves in a glass. Add 2 and a half ounces of white rum and ice. Shake in a cocktail shaker or stir then pour into a large rocks glass and top with orange juice and sprite.



Deep Blue Sea Martini; the drink you want if you want to feel like you've got your toes in the ocean and your booty in a beach chair.

*Bonus, it matches the oceans of that tropical island you're wishing you were on.

Pour two ounces of American Blue Ice Vodka, three quarter ounces of sweet and sour mix, half an ounce of blue curacao (this is where the drink gets that gorgeous color!) and a half ounce of pineapple mix into a cocktail shaker and shake it up! Strain into cocktail glass, rim with sugar and garnish with lemon or lime.

The Bay of Passion; coral colored and garnished with lemon. Just the name will be enough to get you saying "we'll have another round".

42 Below Passion Vodka is shaken with cranberry juice and pineapple juice with some ginger added in for some extra zing. Garnish with a lemon and you're ready to get the passion flowing.

Boozy slushy anyone? This Vodka Strawberry Lemonade Slushy will take you back to the day of spiking your slurpee in the 7-Eleven parking lot.

Toss three cut up strawberries, three fourths of a cup of lemon juice, half a cup of sugar, three fourths of a cup of vodka, and a third a cup of Cointreau liquor in to a blender with ice and mix. Pour into a glass and garnish with strawberry or lemon.

*Tropical paradise in background not included, but this drink may make you feel like you're in one.

Midnight Cowboy; this boozed up coffee delight will keep you going until you have to go back to work Tuesday morning.

In any glass pour two shots of espresso and about an inch and a half of cream. Add one shot of Fireball Whiskey. Top with Bailey's Irish Cream, whipped cream, caramel and cinnamon.

Maybe these five drinks won't transport you to an exotic location but they might make you feel like they can for just a few sips. Because let's face it, we all want to be somewhere on a beach, sippin' something strong.

Happy Holiday Weekend!

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.
