Dear Hometown Best Friends,

In less than two weeks, we will all be home! I hope we are all able to hang out a couple times during this long break. If we are ever bored and can't think of anything to do, here is a list of 15 things that will keep us entertained!

1. Zoo Lights

2. Ice skating

Indoor or outdoors. Either way works.

3. Shopping

Go to a local mall or head to a big city or even an outlet mall to get those Christmas presents.

4. Eat at our favorite local restaurants

Because we are all at home, might as well eat at the places we can only eat at while in town.

5. Christmas movie night

6. Make Christmas cookies

Combine this with a Christmas movie night and we've got ourselves a Christmas party.

7. Paint

Paint canvases or mugs to be presents for each other.

8. Drive around, looking at Christmas lights

9. Winter photoshoot

We aren't all together very often, so let's capture these moments!

10. Attend a hockey game

11. Roadtrip

Head to the nearest big city for the day!

12. Host a white elephant or secret Santa

Cheap way to give each other gifts and have fun with it.

13. Celebrate the new year

Throw a party or just get together and celebrate 2018.

14. Concerts

Find a local band to go see or a big name if any are coming to town.

15. Go to a holiday parade

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.
