When I Met You In The Summer

It may not seem like summer is approaching but we are half way through the semester and there has to be something to look forward to besides the beach, seeing a non-grey sky and your toes, and baseball.

When I Met You In The Summer

This summer is going to be a major big block buster movie summer that is going to extend into the rest of 2015.

For example:

  • Terminator: Genisys comes out July 1st
  • San Andreas comes out May 29th
  • Before I Wake comes out May 8th
  • Hotel Transylvania 2 comes out September 25th
  • No Escape comes out September 2nd
  • Pixels comes out July 24th
  • Mr. Holmes Movie comes out June 19th
  • Self/less comes out July 31st
  • Insidious: Chapter 3 comes out June 5th
  • Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension comes out October 23rd
  • Spectre comes out November 6th
  • Poltergeist comes out July 24th
  • Magic Mike XXL comes out July 1st (and women everywhere will scream including myself!)
  • Knock Knock comes out October 28th
  • Ant-Man comes out July 17th
  • Pixar's Inside Out comes out June 19th
  • Fantastic Four comes out August 7th
  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out December 18th
  • Jurassic World comes out June 12th
  • Mad Max: Fury Road comes out May 15th
  • The Walk comes out October 2nd

You can think about the tequila or non-alcoholic margaritas you will be drinking May 5th on Cinco de Mayo. You can get your mother a beautiful bouquet of roses on May 10th. You can head to the beach with a picnic basket ready to come home late during Memorial day weekend and July 4th weekend.

If you can't even think about the sun or even the beach, you can at least think about baseball which will have opening day April 6th. This season Major League Baseball will be incorporating a series of play-tracking cameras and sensors in all 20 ballparks, opening up the game to a whole new set of analytics by capturing metrics like bat speed, a player's reaction time, and distance covered to make a catch. The College World Series takes place from June 13th or June 24th and the NCAA will be switching from raised-seem baseballs to flat-seam baseballs which travel twenty feet farther so there will be more home runs.

Also, Toyota will be coming out with its first fuel-cell car, FCV, with the promise of a charge that lasts for 310 miles. Verizon will be launching its mobile TV service with a la carte channel selection (aka the only way to really offer channels).

The Canalway Calvacade occurs from May 2nd to May 4th. The pretty waterways of Little Venice will be even more colorful than usual for this annual bank holiday weekend gathering of canal boats which has been going since 1983. Around 130 boats in fancy dress will be moored along the stretch of the Grand Union Canal between Blomfield Road, Warwick Avenue and Warwick Crescent and there will be lots of very British fun including morris dancers and a real ale tent.

The World Naked Bike Ride occurs every June. What could be better than biking around London in the buff? A lot of things probably, but try telling that to the hundreds who go skin-to-saddle each year. If you fancy a laugh, watch the ride at a particularly potholed section of the route.

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.
