You may not know what you're doing on New Year's, so here are some great ways to spend the last night of 2018.

1. Dance Club/Lounge

"We can dance if you want to, we can leave your friends behind." What's something the end of a very stressful year make you want to do? Dance, drink, and sweat the night off. New Year's Eve is not just the last day of the year, it's the last chance you have to get down and dirty with your best friends.

2. House Party

Dancing is still in play here, but now you have the comfort of couches, free drinks, and enjoying the night with familiar faces. It's also a great way to keep an eye on the TV to see the ball drop in Times Square. Get loose, get crazy, and have a bangin' New Year's.

3. Bar Hopping

Chances are there will be bars that will have just drinks and maybe some appetizers to enjoy. If you're not really the dancing type and you want to drink and be surrounded by a close-knit group of friends, then there's no harm in going to a few bars and getting your drink on!

4. Local Fireworks

I've lived in Naples for years; we're notorious for our 4th of July and New Year's Eve fireworks. You can find a spot on the beach or Downtown on 5th Ave. Whether you enjoy it from the top of a parking garage or next to the ocean, you can enjoy the vibrant colors tracing the night sky.

5. With the Fam

"Who's ready to get crazy for New Year's?!"

Who better to celebrate the coming of a new year than with your family back home. An added bonus is that you can eat, drink, and dance as much as you want and get to lay in bed without even leaving the comfort of your parent's home.

I wish you an amazing, fun, and safe New Year's Eve. 2018 hasn't been perfect and there's been a lot of things that have affected us this year. If anything is true, it's that we all deserve a clean slate and a new start. Let's not forget the year entirely, however, let's learn and adapt into better versions of ourselves. Happy New Year's everyone.

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.
