My Idea Of Camping Versus Everyone Else

Cabins Versus Tents

My Idea Of Camping Versus Everyone Else
Brian Wu

So camping is fun. Atleast my idea of camping is. Now before you start making assumptions, jumping to conclusions, and judging me, hear me out.

When you ask "what do you do when you go camping", alot of people would say to pitch a tent, sit around a fire, and sleep under the stars. Ask the same question and other people may say renting out a cabin, sitting around a fire, and sleeping under a roof. I've done both and I enjoy both, but to be honest, I like having a bathroom with indoor plumbing and a place I can take a deuce and brush my teeth comfortably. I like being able to wash my teeth, or have a kitchen to prepare whatever I'm about to barbecue, or sleep with less of a chance of ants crawling around. Also it's just more relaxing to sleep on a cot or mattress rather than the dirt floor. I'm not saying that camping outdoors classic style sucks, it's just has it's limits. One con is that usually have to carry your camping equipment to the site, away from your car. With a cabin, you park right outside and just move stuff a short distance. Cabins have kitchens, so you can have more variety with what you want to cook. With classic style, usually all you have is a fire pit, leaving just hotdogs and s'mores as your options. Not bad, but pretty boring. Sleeping under the stars is nice though. I will give you that.

I understand renting out a cabin is more expensive but it is WAY more comfortable. Basically you're going to have to juggle affordability with comfort. I personally don't care. I just find it more fun to rent out a cabin and get wasted in a safe environment around people you love and care about.

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.
