Summer Plans for the Bored College Student

1. Hang out with friends

See some of the old friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Meet up with college friends.

2. Try something new

Do something you’ve been wanting to. Do something different. Cross something off your bucket list.

3. Try a new look


Get your hair cut or do your makeup differently. Maybe even be bold and dye your hair.

4. Go somewhere new

Explore the world, go somewhere you have never been. Explore the world while you’re young and have the time.

5. Watch a new TV show

The time for binge watching has arrived. There is no homework staring you in the face, it’s finally time to binge watch that show that you’ve been meaning to.

6. Get a job


While work is annoying and boring, if you apply for a job you like it will be fun. That way you can meet new people and get some cash while you're at it.

7. Go to the movies

Summer is the time for blockbusters. So go see that movie that you’ve been wanting to since the trailer has been released.

8.Go shopping

Go get some new clothes or a new book. Have some fun at the mall or even a farmer’s market. Go buy something for you or for someone else.

9. Sleep

You’re finally done with finals and it's time to catch up on sleep from all those all nighters.

10. Take a summer class

While you may say, no more classes and studying! Taking a class for fun or to catch up on credits can be good.

11. Have fun!!!!!!

No matter what you do have fun!

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?

For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
