1. Toomer's Corner

THE Auburn tradition. At least once in every student's life, a trip to Toomer's Drugs is taken where their iconic lemonade will be waiting for them. This delicious, refreshing, and glorious lemonade will make a tiger out of you for sure!

2. Jordan-Hare Stadium

Football fan or not, a game day spent in Jordan-Hare is a magical one. With our overflowing traditions and spirit, you can't help but feel excited and ready for a day of tailgating, cheering on your team, and fun with friends.

3. Skybar

Also a part of every student's life is a trip to Skybar. You may not be a party owl, but a night at "sky" is certainly legendary. Whether it's drink specials on Wednesday, karaoke, your usual Friday nights, or a game day, Skybar is worth the trip.

4. Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve

You don't have to be an, "outside person," to enjoy this preserve. The beautiful trails and various spaces make for a relaxing, or even adventurous, afternoon with friends. One thing that is unique to Auburn University is the rolling green spaces that make our city beautiful and different than most other college towns. Rather than a few hours shopping downtown, spend some time walking through the preserve for a stress-relieving stroll. Go ahead, you've earned it.

5. Julie Colins Museum

This is my personal favorite. The museum is a unique and beautiful way to spend an afternoon in the wonderful city of Auburn, AL. The art varies from element, time, and subject, as you walk through the crisp white walls of the building. Enrich yourself and take a stroll on through, you won't regret it.

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.
