Toes in the water. The sun beaming on your skin. The smell of salt in the air. The beach! When I think of the beach I am suddenly overwhelmed with happiness. The sound of the waves crashing is oh so relaxing to me. As if it is music to my ears. All I know is when I am at the beach the majority of my problems simply disappear. Here are just 6 of the million reasons why the beach is my happy place!

1. I am not at work

Yes, I love my job. I love my kids at work. However, I love the beach! Just having a sit down moment on a beach chair with the wind blowing my hair, I am happy to escape my normal. We all can use a little time off and have some time to enjoy life. Why not do that at the beach?

2. Spending time with my family and friends

Normally when I go to the beach I have someone around me wither it is family or friends. Having that time to spend with the ones you love at a place you love is well... pure happiness! Going swimming in the ocean or soaking up some rays doing it with others is always better.

3. The ice cream always tastes better

For some reason, when I go to the beach I get this craving for some ice cream. To me the ice cream at the beach always tastes better. I guess the warm beach air mixed with the cool tasty ice cream makes it taste better. You have so many choices too! Soft serve, snow cones, shaved ice, hand scooped... the list goes on and on!

4. The sun makes me smile

Normally, when I am outside in the sun at home I feel miserable. I feel hot and sweaty and just want to go inside. But for some reason, when I go to the beach I feel like I cannot get enough of the sun. Yes, I have to apply a ton of sun screen but it's totally worth it!

5. The water is relaxing

As soon as I pull up to the parking at the beach I can hear the waves come crashing in. The sound of the waves alone just makes me feel like all my problems have been evaporated and sucked away. When I get in the water I love the feeling the the smooth sand between my toes and the water crashing against me.

6. There is something about a beach house

I do not know what it is but there is something different about a beach house and a regular house. When I am in the beach house I feel so at home. I can sleep easier and even breathe easier! I never want to leave when I am there!

Going to the beach is by far one of my favorite things to do. I feel like all my problems have been taken away from me and I have been filler with happiness. From the sun to the sand everything about the beach makes me happy. I cannot wait to plan my next beach trip.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
