What Should You Do Your Last Semester?

Don't waste away this semester!

What Should You Do Your Last Semester?
The Huffington Post

There are a lot of things you can do during your last semester. You can apply for jobs or finally achieve your life goal of getting a 4.0 and making Deals List. My advice to you is to make lasting memories. Do not waste away your last semester staying in your room and binge watching One Tree Hill (even though I highly recommend that TV show). Make adventures on the weekend with your friends and try to treasure those moments because this time next year, we will be in an office working 9-5 every Monday-Friday. This is our last couple of months of freedom. Not to mention, when will be the next time you will see all of your friends you made in college after you graduate? You will not have that luxury of walking up a flight of stairs and being able to watch the Grammys with all of your friends. Instead of staying in on a Friday night, get with a group of friends and watch movies or having a baking day with them. If you are worried about finding a job and want to focus on applying to jobs and perfecting your résumé and cover letter, set a game plan for yourself. Throughout the week, set aside time to apply for jobs and then on the weekends, dedicate it to your friends. Make memories with them. Cherish this last semester of college and go out with a bang.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.
