There are many different things to do in New York City, but summer is almost over. You're probably tried of going into the city and doing the same touristy things in the same areas. I mean how many times can you go to Times Square. Here are five interesting unique things to do before the summer is over in New York City. That will take you all over the city.

1. Downtown Food, Desert, and Wine Tour

Enjoy a walk through Soho and into Little Italy while enjoying the best food and wine that NYC has to offer. You'll be lead by a licensed tour guide as you sample artisan chocolate truffles and European cheeses. You'll also get you're choice of a local craft brew or glass of wine. Not only will you get to sample these fine foods, you'll also learn how they are made. This tour is available through City Food Tours, to learn more visit their website!

2. Visit the High Line

Located in the heart of the Meatpacking District, the High Line is a lovely elevated park made out of the no longer used West Side Line train tracks. Enjoy a mile and a half walk of beautiful greenery, almost making it like you're not in the hustle and bustle of NYC.

3. Ninja Restaurant

This fun japanese restaurant is designed to look like a feudal ninja village. The entire restaurant is setup like a maze with individual rooms for each table. Entrees included teriyaki salmon and mango salmon rolls. The restaurant also has a vegetarian menu and many different types of sake.

4. Mmuseumm

The Mmuseumm is probably the most interesting museum in New York, but it is also the smallest. The entire museum is located in a freight elevator in Tribeca, the museum is so small that it only allows three people in at a time. One of the wackiest artifacts at the tiny museum was the shoe that was thrown at President Bush during a press conference.

5.Visit Rough Trade

Sadly most record shops have been closed in NYC, but thankfully one of the originals Rough Trade still remains. Inside Rough Trade there are records, books, and art installations. The store is even capable of being a venue of up to 250 people. So come dig through some records.

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?
