I have been to New York twice, and I am visiting the "Big Apple" one more time in two weeks. Based on my previous trips, I have created an itinerary of places and things to do that are a must when visiting New York. If you ever get the chance to visit, do no this out on these things!

1. See a Broadway show

I have attended three Broadway shows in New York. They are truly spectacular, so do not miss the opportunity to see a show. I recommend seeing Annie, The Phantom of the Opera, or Beauty and the Beast.

2. Visit Ground Zero

Although I have never been to Ground Zero, I heard it a must do in New York.

3. See the Rockettes perform

New York is known for their Rockettes, and every year they put on a Christmas Spectacular. It is a show you do not want to miss!

4. Go ice skating at Rockefeller Center Plaza

I have been ice skating once before at Rockefeller Center Plaza. Even though ice skating is not my best sport, it is a fun activity to do!

5. Visit the Christmas tree at Rockerfeller Center

Visiting the Christmas tree is classic! if you are visiting New York during Christmas time!

6. Eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner

I have never been to Ellen's Stardust Diner, but I have heard that it is a fun restaurant to go eat. The waiters and waitresses that work there are trying to make it on Broadway, so wheel you are eating a meal, you have the chance to listen to them sing and dance!

7. Visit The Plaza Hotel

The Plaza is an iconic hotel in New York. I have never gotten to stay there, but I have stopped inside to visit and look around, and it is truly beautiful.

8. Visit FAO Schwarz toy store

If you think Toys R Us is a big toy store, think again. This famous toy store has multiple stories in which children and adults can spend hours in discovering all sorts of fancy toys.

9. Go to the Top of the Rock

The Top of the Rock is an activity that you must do! You have the chance to see all of New York from the top of a skyscraper. Although I am not a fan of heights, it is pretty awesome.

10. Shop in Times Square

Who doesn't love shopping? Shopping in Times Square is a must do, and beats any shopping mall I have been to!

Although there are a million things to do in New York, I hope you will try a few of my favorite's the next time you visit!

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.
