Top Ten Things To Do This Fourth Of July

Do you have nothing to do this Fourth of July? Are you bored of the same generic Fourth of July things every year? Worry not, because I have compiled a list of things you would've never considered to do this year!

1. Fireworks

I'll bet you've never seen fireworks on the Fourth of July! The idea came to me in a dream: why not shoot thousands of dollars worth of explosives into the air to celebrate America's freedom from Great Britain?

2. Barbecues

Another brilliant way to remember the success of our ancestors is to fry up the carcass of some dead cows and pigs on the ol' griddle.

3. Parties

Yay! Parties! Fun! Dance! Other... party stuff...

4. Drinking Yourself Stupid

Yeah, there's the other party stuff. Alcohol, am I right? Drink until you can't walk straight and can't tell your dog from the sofa.

5. Drinking and Driving (See #4)

This is a great idea. Keep tabs of all the people you hit; they're worth varying amounts of points.

6. Stare at the American Flag

The start of it all. This represents America's freedom and has everyone's favorite color all over it: blue.

7. Hang an American Flag Somewhere

It doesn't really matter where, as long as all of your neighbors and random strangers can see how patriotic you are.

8. Think of Donald Trump and Hang a Canadian Flag Instead

On second thought, do we really like America that much this year? Think about that before hanging the flag where everyone can see it.

9. Think of Brexit and Hang the American Flag Back Up

On third thought... this year was really a mess for everyone, wasn't it? Now we Americans can pretend we didn't screw up the world the most in 2016. Hang that flag back up!

10. Fireworks

I'll bet you've ne-- oh, wait, did I say this one already? Oops.


Well, there you have it; these are the top ten -- uh, nine -- things to do this Fourth of July. So have fun, be safe, and for the love of God, please don't actually drink and drive.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
