Summer Anthem To Sunny Skies

Halfway through the summer and it is just becoming hot enough for sitting poolside with a good book and some good beats. Now that summer solstice is officially behind us, we can pull out our bikinis and floppy sun hats. It is the time during summer in which we need that extra motivation to start summer classes, or wake up early for that tedious summer job or internship.

To get you through the long summer day, I have composed a list of songs, new and old, to get you in the summer solstice mood. I don’t know about you, but there is nothing quite like driving down a quiet back road at night listening to some country, classic rock, or electric dance music at full volume. When the car vibrates with summer music, it reminds you why summer is the best season. That might be my favorite part of the summer. Sitting at the beach, plugged in with some great new music, with your toes in the water and the sand. And even when summer ends, you still have the music to remember all of the great memories you made and all the fun nights you spent enjoying the beautiful weather.

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.
