Things To Do If You Aren’t Traveling Over Spring Break

  1. Catch up with your friends from High School

Even if you didn't go out of state for college, there's still no way you had time to keep in perfect touch with your friends from home. Spring break is the perfect time to catch up with them and form a deeper friendship that only comes with spending long periods of time apart.

2. Workout

It can be hard to start a workout plan in our busy lives, but if you have free time over spring break now is the perfect time! Start out small and by the end of the week find a set routine that you feel comfortable carrying out when you go back to school.

3. Go on a day trip to somewhere in your state

In Oklahoma, a popular day trip is to the Wichita Mountains. There you can hike, swim in the streams, eat delicious foods, and see wild bison. Wherever you are, there are places close by that you have yet to explore. My advice is to hop in the car, roll the windows down and see where the day takes you.

4. Plan

As someone who is very busy and can easily be stressed, I find that making schedules are very helpful for time management. Write down all of the upcoming events on a calendar that is easily accessed. Also, write down all of your upcoming tests and project due dates in a planner. This will help you to be organized and prepared for everything college throws at you.

5. Get Outside

Whether it's riding your bike around a local lake or getting some sun at the pool, being outside is sure to brighten your mood. Spending all day looking at social media and seeing people at the beach or skiing will only put you in a funk. Appreciate the place you in and learn to have fun with the company you have instead of the Instagram picture potential of the place you're in.

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.

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?
