Spring Breakerzzz

Yeah, we did and saw.

My freshman year of college, I decided to go to California for Spring Break. The decision was made in like November and finalized in early February, weeks before break.

I was so pumped; me, my roommate, her ex roommate, and our Cali native friend, sunny bound for a whole week.

It wound up being three of us, but was still so much fun. In N Out, some good ole Authentic Mexican food, a mall trip, a beach trip, the Santa Monica pier, and two movie theatre experiences later, I could say I never wanted to leave.

Of course, we did, and my Sophomore year brought an adventure home, where I went to the dance club, took a trip to the town over to go shopping, and bummed around. It was pure magic.

So, this being my third year, my best friend and I decided to mix things up and go to Seattle. Not the typical sunny and 75 most Spring Breakers go too, but it was joy enough for us.

We rented a condo downtown and got an amazing experience. We ubered for the first time (whooo!) and bought city passes; these included discount tickets to places such as the space needle, the aquarium, and a harbor tour.

We tried a new restaurant, called Tacos Chuki's, and fell utterly in love. It was so authentic and felt like home. Oh, and us being faithful McDonald's employees had us searching the nearest Mickey D's. We experimented at three of them!

We also got piercings and went to a few movies. We're boring, we know.

But the best part of this Spring Break? Being bums! We work, study, do homework, and try to have as much of a social life as possible. Which mostly fails, but we try.

Cheers to a successful Spring Break and finishing the year stronger!

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?
