I love the beach. In fact, the beach is my favorite place to be. When I go to the beach, no matter which beach it is, I get the feeling that I am where I'm supposed to be. The beach provides me with a home away from home every time I go, and that's something I love. After my recent trip to the beach, I find it necessary to give a shout out to the best place on earth and share the ABCs of every beach trip...

1. Alcohol

Because everything is better with booze.

2. Beach Babes

Whether they're male, female, or anything in between I guarantee you will see at least one really HOT person on your beach trip.

3. Coolers

Your portable fridge for any trip. It can be filled with sandwiches, water bottles, Gatorades, your alcohol, a salad. Pretty much anything. Coolers are an amazing invention.

4. Driving

Part of the fun with a beach trip is the car ride to get there. License plate game, anyone?

5. Excitement

Mention a beach trip to me and I'll start getting excited weeks in advance. The beach always gets me pumped!

6. Fish

Whether you're fishing or just swimming, it's likely you'll see(or be touched by) a fish.

7. Games

Seeing who can get their feet deepest in the sand, Bocce ball, cornhole. Games enhance any get together, even a trip to the beach.

8. Hats

Baseball hats, big straw hats, visors, the list goes on. When you go to the beach you can see the different types of hats scattered all around.

9. Ice pops

Bust open your cooler and eat one of these delicious little treats when the sun is getting just a little too hot.

10. Jet skis

Though I have never been on one, they always look like so much fun!

11. Kids

The beach is always full of kids who are just looking to have a fun day. Sandcastles everywhere and we have children to thank for that.

12. Lifeguards

Saving someone from drowning or just sitting in that tall chair all day long, you always wanted to rock that sunscreen on your nose like that as a kid.


13. Money

Even a simple day to the beach is going to cost you some money, but every penny spent is easily worth it.

14. Night Swim

Late night walk on the beach followed by a relaxing night time swim? Sounds peacefully perfect, doesn't it?

15. Ocean

Deep and full of things unknown, the oceans provide us with some of the best places on this earth: beaches around the world.

16. Pier

Take a walk, go fishing, or just simply admire the view; piers are always a great edition to any beach trip.


17. Quiet time

Vacation is time for fun, and fun always involves a little peace and quiet to escape your everyday problems.

18. Radio

When your quiet time is up, it's time to crank up the tunes and jam while soaking up some sun.

.

19. Sand

Sand helps make some of the most fun on any trip. Castles, burying each other, and filling your cars because the beach refuses to let you leave without a souvenir.

20. Tan lines

Hours in the sun and what do you have to show for it? You're crazy tan(or sunburn) lines.

21. Umbrellas

The only shield you have to provide some relief from those sun rays throughout the day.

22. Volleyball

There is no game like sand volleyball. Gather your family and friends and get ready to have the time of your life.

23. Waves

Body surfing, regular surfing, almost getting knocked over trying to walk in the shallows. Waves are what make the beach different than just some backyard pool. They provide an unpredictable sense of enjoyment to your water-wading experience.

24. X... I got nothing

Who needs x anyway.

25. Yeti

A yeti cooler ties together a great beach experience by keeping your drinks cold after you take them from the cooler.

26. Zero chance you'll want to leave

When I go to the beach I never want to leave. I'm in paradise and I don't want to go back to my everyday life.

Next time you go to the beach, think about these ABCs!

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.
