Things You Should Do When You Have The Chance

Life is an adventure!

Things You Should Do When You Have The Chance
Natalie

There are those things in life where you didn't feel like doing it at the moment, but you look back and wish you had. Sometimes those opportunities come back around and others you may never get to do again. So when you have chances, be fearless and take them. These are some things I have done, and have no regret at all.

White Water Rafting

The first time I went I was so nervous and had so many questions. After the first time though, I've been back every labor day.

Camp In A Tent

This is one thing I knew I wanted to do but if you're unsure about this you can always do a thing called glamping.

Ride A Rollercoaster

Filled with so much excitement. Just make sure it's not right after you've eaten a lot! Another piece of advice...go to Cedar Point, located in Ohio.

Eat Whatever It May Be

Whether it's a cookie, doughnut, or the last piece of cake...just eat, don't let that diet always get in the way.

Go On That Road Trip

Add to your list of sites you've visited and things you have seen. One of my favorite place I've been to is Ohio. 14 hours in a car doesn't sound all that appealing, but it's the adventure that truly counts!

Spend Time With Family/Friends


Watch a movie, go bowling, eat dinner together, or even just take a walk. Either way, you spend time with your family is better than none, as long as you make memories. Since I've been gone to college, I miss my family every single day and wish I had more opportunities to be with them.

Go Hiking

The walking can be so exhausting but as the cliche goes...the view is amazing at the top! When I went the first, all I said was that I'm never doing this again...here I am going again in a few weeks.

Go To Disney World

Literally one of my favorite places, between all the rides, lights and food. Plus if you're a huge fan of Disney it brings it all to life. There's nothing like eating a Mickey ice cream and watching the firework show!


So many times I regret not doing something. That's why when I'm given an opportunity I try to keep this in mind, it makes me tell myself to do what ever is presented so I don't have to regret not doing it also.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
