The Summer Is For New Smyrna Beach: A Photo Series
Yasmin Figueroa

During the summer everyone faces the boredom of not knowing what to do with our free time. One of the ways I have found to combat this is to go to the beach! One of my favorite beaches is New Smyrna Beach.

It has soft sand, cool water, and enough sun to get an amazing golden tan! New Smyrna is the perfect place to take your family as there is always enough space to set up all of your chairs and tents, the waves are never crazy big, and there are always multiple lifeguards present. Just remember to pack a lot of sunscreen!


Calm waves and plenty of sun. The tides at New Smyrna are almost never wild and there are calmer waves near the shoreline, perfect for little kids to enjoy!


Many people are drawn to New Smyrna for the sun, but I love it for the water. The waves allow visitors to boogie board, swim and of course lay out and build sandcastles by the shore.


Calm gentle waves fill the air with their relaxing sounds and offer visitors an escape from their hectic lives.


At the shoreline visitors are able to see many small fish swimming around and occasionally may see a seagull dive into the waves to catch one.


Lifeguards can see far in the distance from their headquarters to keep the beach's visitors safe and happy! After all New Smyrna Beach is know as the "Shark Attack Capital of The World!"


More lifeguards are closely watching the swimmers to make sure they don't stray too far out into the ocean.


The beach is surrounded by green grasses and many palms. Between the months of May and October, you will see many taped off areas in which sea turtles have laid some eggs. Lucky visitors might even be able to see some of the eggs hatch!


Visiting New Smyrna Beach is one of my most favorite things to do and it will soon be yours too. People of all different ages are able to have fun in the sun and enjoy the peaceful waves!

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. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
