With a city so packed full of adventure spots like London, it can be hard to know what the must-sees are. So, now that I have several weeks in London under my belt, I thought I would point out some of my favorites.

1. Oxford University

Just one hour outside the city, this is the perfect day trip! Make sure to spend time at the Bodleian libraries while you are there!

2. A Book Crawl

Madelyn Neal

Like a pub crawl, only much more educational (and probably more expensive)! Make your way to classics like Daunt and Persephone's to explore the hidden books of London!

3. Bath

Madelyn Neal

It is such a beautiful city; everywhere you turn there is a new clever boutique or restaurant, and you can even stop at the Jane Austen Centre to see how she lived and wrote in that city. There is so much to do, historic and otherwise! I would even recommend going for longer than a day: it is the perfect weekend locale!

4. Covent Gardens

Madelyn Neal

This is the perfect place to explore. There are homemade crafts and wares everywhere, live entertainment anywhere, and countless restaurants. To top it all off, there is also theatre all around!

5. Chelsea

Madelyn Neal

Maybe save this trip for when they have their annual flower shows so you can be sure to catch Chelsea at its most creative and outrageous!

Next time you're in the city that has captured my heart, make sure to take a look at some or all of these places! You won't be disappointed!

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.
