As summer is quickly approaching, I think we can all agree we are eager to ditch days locked in the library for days spent in the sand. What's summer without a bucket list?! Here are some must have to-dos for your best summer yet:

1. Go to a concert.

2. Take a beach trip.

What's better than a weekend trip to the beach with your best friends?

3. Make dinner for the fam.

Corn on the cob, grilled chicken, a fun & easy salad. Your family will be impressed. New chef in the house?!

4. Binge watch an entire Netflix show in one day.

Save it for a rainy day. Some days are just meant to be spent inside cuddled on the couch watching The Office.

5. Camp in the backyard.

For those who aren't the "camping type," this is a tradition that never gets old. You can sleep under the stars but use the bathroom that's 10 feet away!

6. Try every flavor at an ice cream shop.

Impossible? No way. There are so many flavors to be tested. Who knows, you may find a new favorite!

7. Exercise as much as you can.

To burn off all that ice cream. Get outside in the sunshine as much as you can, whether it be a leisurely jog around the neighborhood or a swim in the pool.

8. Go to a drive-in.

Watching a movie under the stars is one of the coolest things ever. You must try it!

9. Volunteer your time.

There are so many ways to help your community. Get involved.

10. Read as many books as you can.

Since the school year is so busy, it can be hard to find time to read books you actually enjoy. Summer is the best time to read book after book!

11. Tan. Tan. Tan.

No explanation needed.

12. Run a 5k!

A great way to stay in shape, have fun, or help a good cause.

13. Go to the zoo.

Who doesn't love a hot day spent eating ice cream and petting animals?!

14. Have a picnic at a park.

Something about eating good food on the grass under the sun. It's a must.

15. Road trip.

Pack the car and go somewhere you've always wanted to go.

16. Do something you've always been scared to do.

Summer is the best opportunity to try something new.

17. Write in a journal.

Reflect on your days spent relaxing. As life gets hectic and busy; it is nice to look back at the memories we've made.

18. Go a week without social media.

This one is hard, some may even say impossible. But I hear a week social media free is good for the soul.

19. Spend time with family and friends.

20. Sleep. And sleep some more.

Yes, please.

21. See a Broadway show.

22. Spend hours in the pool.

I expect to be a wrinkly prune everyday from the copious amount of time spent floating in the water.

23. Go on a hike.

A little nature is good for ya.

24. Discover a new city or town.

25. Eat as much fruit as possible.

26. Sip a drink out of a mini umbrella.

C'mon, so cute.

27. Treat yourself to a new bathing suit.

28. Watch every single Disney movie.

Impossible? Nah.

29. Cook or bake something that's been on your Pinterest board for years.


30. Relax and have fun!

As the school year winds down, relaxation is a must. Here's to a great summer!

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.
