Spring Break is finally here. I know we are all ready to shut the books and enjoy some R&R before finishing the last half of the semester. Here are 7 Must-Have Spring Break Essentials you need to pack, no matter where you go.

1. Sunglasses

Whether your view is sunny, sandy beaches or beautiful, sunny mountains, everyone needs a good pair of sunglasses to complete their outfit and keep you from squinting in all of the insta worthy vaycay pics.

2. Dry Shampoo/Texture Spray

With the wind in your hair or the sand between your toes, dry shampoo can save your hair from looking a mess and keep the waves or roots looking picture perfect.

3. Your Favorite Sweatshirt

For nighttime at the beach or a cozy evening in the mountains, your fav sweatshirt is sure to keep you warm. Plus who doesn't love a good sweatshirt?

4. A Good Pear of Jeans

Never go on a vacation without a good pair of jeans! Pair with a tank and cute shoes or a big jacket and booties and you are ready to go out on the town.

5. Moisturizer

Everyone needs moisturizer. With sun-kissed or wind-blown cheeks, moisturizer is key to help keep your face soft and fresh instead of dry and peeling.

6. Tote Bag

Tote bags are great for carrying towels down to the beach, holding shopping bags, or carrying gear from excursions in the mountains. These are great for making your vaycay just a little easier.

7. Go-To Shoes

Before you leave for any trip, be sure to grab a pair of shoes that can work with multiple outfits. It's great to not have to pack 30 pairs of shoes (somehow it still happens) but have your one go-to shoe that works great with any outfit.

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.

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.
