In This Article:

Everyone has colored something at least once in their lives. If you haven't, you are missing out on one of the most stress relieving activity ever!

1. It makes for a fun date night!

Coloring is a super fun way to be able to spend time with the ones you love doing something you love.

2. It won't break the bank.

Let's be honest, going out can break the bank, but coloring won't do that. Simply hit up the dollar store, grab some coloring books and crayons and get to coloring.

3. It is very relaxing.

I recently started coloring again and it's amazing. I make myself a warm cup of tea and sit down, and start bringing the pages to life.

4. It's so simple and efficient.

Usually, when I have breaks in between classes, I am either on my phone or waiting for class to start. But coloring is as simple as taking out your phone.

5. It will bring you joy.

Whether you get an adult coloring book or a kids one, after you are done coloring the picture you always feel so proud of your accomplished work

6. Just because you can!

If you find yourself with more free time than you originally planned and you don't want to watch your show, pick up a coloring book!

7. It's a nice peaceful activity after a hectic day.

Some of us have extremely hectic weeks, so hectic it feels as if though you will never get a second of peace but if you set aside some minutes each day and take a break, you will find that coloring is so peaceful and quiet.

8. Coloring books come by the dozen.

Coloring books come by the dozen, whether it be intricate figures or jumbo sized animals, there is a coloring book for everyone.

9. It's easy to take with you on the go! 

Mini coloring books fit in the palms of your hand. Simply put it in your pocket or purse, grab a small Ziploc bag with crayons and away you go.

10. It's fun for everyone!

Coloring is for everyone and for all ages!

If you have made it this far in the article without getting in your car and driving to get some books. Now is your chance!

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?
