Yes, shockingly there are people out there that don't like the beach. I know this may come as the biggest surprise you have heard since Angelina and Brad Pitt getting a divorce, but these people exist. As a fair skinned, redhead there are obvious signs why the beach and I have as I would like to call it a "Love/Hate Relationship". To my bronze goddess skinned friends, this opposition may be hard for you to wrap your head around. Here are some reasons why people don't LOVE the beach.

1. SUNBURNS


If you are the person that can't leave the house without SPF 75 you definitely feel a major connection with this reasoning. Yes, the beach is great at the moment, but when you're taking a bath in aloe that night your relationship with the beach maybe as Ross from Friends so eloquently puts it "ON A BREAK!'

2. Sand... Everywhere


The moment that your toes meet the white smooth sand, it is the next best thing to walking on a cloud. Yet at the end of a sunny day, you feel like you're covered from head to toe in sand. It's in your bags, shoes, car, ears, nails, mouth, etc. Sand can be found everywhere for what seems like weeks. The worst feeling is when a gust of wind comes blowing through and you get a whole mouth load filled with, you guessed it, SAND.

3. Seagulls


In the movie Finding Nemo, the legendary scene that we all couldn't get enough of as kids was the "mine, Mine, MINE" part where the flock of seagulls are all coming. The annoying creatures are swarming all around you at the beach. Their squawks at high-frequency pitches do not make the experience more worthwhile either. As the Seagulls fly around all you can do is pray that one of them doesn't decide to take a poop right above your head.

4. Salt Water


The Ocean is so beautiful to admire from afar and take in all the beauty it has to offer. Swimming in salt water is a different story within itself. When you swim in the ocean if you open your eyes underwater, they will burn from the salt. Then when you exit the salty water, your whole body is covered from head to toe in crimpy salt.

5. Sea Animals


Jellyfish, sharks, crabs, and seaweed all sea animals that many people have a legitimately large fear or disdain of. This can make the non-beach people steer farther away from the beach then they already try to do. It can cause them to not want to walk along the beach or get in the water. This causes the whole day at the beach to be a "bust."

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.
