No, I didn't misspell party.

Your Ultimate Guide To Surviving A 'Darty'

I have seen SO many people post about "dartying," and at first, I was like OK, weirdos, what is this? Being an OU student I should have known. To darty is to day party. When the weather is nice, when the sun is out, and the homework is done (or not done, if you're someone who can handle that. I cannot. Work hard, play hard, amiright?) we college kids don't head to the bars, we head to the front porches and front yards to party. Here is the best way to darty.

1. Pace yourself.

OK, this may seem annoying, or obvious, but you have to pace yourself. I see so many people going home at like 5 because they can't hang. If you don't place yourself, you're going to get hurt, and you're going to miss out on the rest of the night.

2. Don't ignore responsibilities to darty.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you have work, homework, a group project, or whatever, don't skip them to darty, because chances are, people will still be drinking when you're done. And you also don't want to fail school or lose your job over this.

3. Don't mooch.

Don't steal someone's alcohol. Unless you've been offered one, don't take one. It is so rude.

4. Drink water.

I sound like a mom, but it is a lot hotter than what you're used to. If you don't drink water every couple of drinks, then you'll get dehydrated and that is not fun.

5. Be nice to the police.

Yes, they know what you're doing. No, they aren't out to get you. They're there to look out for you. SO be nice to them, follow the law, and you will be fine.

6. Have fun!

These are the best days, and they are a great time. So enjoy them! Just be safe, my friends.

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.
