11 Ways To Take Advantage Of A Rainy Day

Recently, we have been experiencing lots of rain here in Louisiana, so we have been practicing keeping ourselves busy indoors. Here are some tips from Louisianians for all of you who are experiencing heavy rain.


1. Always sleep in.

The rain acts as a sleep aid and has that perfect humming sound to send you into a deep, restful sleep.

2. Eat super unhealthily.

Make today a cheat day. There is no reason to get out and risk wrecking your car, so stay in and eat all of the junk food in your cabinet.


3. Catch up on all of your Netflix shows.

There is no reason to waste a dark day outside since your room is now turned into a theater.


4. Stay in your pajamas all day.

There is no reason to change.


5. Go play in the rain.

Who doesn't want to play in the rain?


6. At least, take a picture of the rain.

It's not like every Snapchat story will be of flooding roads.

7. You could clean your room if you get bored, but be ready for the mud you track in once the rain ends.

8. Light some candles and meditate; work on your breathing techniques.

9. If you're feeling extra motivated you could work out; space may be limited, but jumping jacks work anywhere.

10. If your room is getting a little too quiet you could turn on some good music, or call your mom; you know she always wants to hear your voice.

11. If you have run out of ideas, you could always get up, go out to your car, and just drive away.


Hope you enjoy your next rainy day!

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.
