Top 10 Spring Things

Spring may have come late to Denver, but for a few months we get to enjoy the beautiful weather and everything else that comes with this amazing season. Here are some tips to get the most out of your wardrobe

1. Button-down shirts over sundresses

Spring is still a little chilly (hello snow on the ground here in Denver!), so it's not quite sundress season. If you're like me and are itching to break out sundresses, layer with an open button down in a complementing color, and you'll have a perfectly spring-appropriate look.

2. Chacos

My go-to shoe. You can wear them hiking, rafting, shopping, and hanging out.

3. Neon pink lipstick

Nothing says spring like a neon lip to brighten those winter blues.

4. Glow

Whether it's natural or done with makeup, a glow is an essential spring accessory.

5. Bodysuits

Like a swimsuit but acceptable for everyday wear. Can be worn with shorts, jeans, skirts, alone if you're really daring....

6. Mantra Bands

Because who doesn't want a motivational and chic bracelet to add to your arm party?

7. Cut-outs

In dresses, in swimsuits, in shirts, in leggings. You name it, I want it.

8. Sun protection

So important! Sunscreen on the face, neck and ears every day to retain soft, protected skin. Add a layer to your body if you're spending extra time in the sun. My recommendation? Download the EPA's app "EPA UV Index" to see how strong the UV rays are in your area, as well as tips to protect yourself from harmful rays.

9. Natural hair texture

Go natural! Spring is the ideal time to let it go. If your hair is curly, add a little leave in conditioner and argan oil for shine, and you're ready to go. For girls with straight hair, apply some sleek oil to tame frizzies.

10. Hydration

Hydration is key! Bring a chic water bottle decked out with stickers that represent you to take everywhere. You'll be more motivated to drink throughout the day, keeping you hydrated and healthy. (See number four for a good reason to hydrate.)

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.
