5 Ways To Spend Spring Break
C. C. Hunter Books

Spring break is just around the corner, but the real question is how you're going to spend it! It can be hard trying to make plans and coordinate with other people, so here are some easy ways to spend your spring break.

1. Go home

For some people it's not easy getting home to see the family. Take this time to go home and relax if you feel like you need a break from school friends. Going home for spring break isn't as lame as it sounds and you’ll find that a lot of people end up doing it!

2. Go to Canada

Never been out of the country? Canada is a great place to start! Find a bus that can take you up to one of the big cities (Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver) and spend a couple days exploring a different culture! P.S. This trip is not for those who aren't good in cold weather, it's cold as hell in Canada this time of year.

3. Go to a beach

Take a getaway to one of the closest beaches near you. If you go to a school that's currently in a snowy season it might be nice to take a trip to more tropical weather.

4. Stay on campus

If you go to a school with a lot of things to do in the area you may consider just staying in campus with some friends. Plan out what you want to do for each day so you don't just end up still around the dorms, and go have fun! This way you're not paying for a hotel and minimal transportation.

5. Road trip


If you have a friend with a car, take advantage! Everyone on the trip pitch in some money for gas and go! Try traveling the areas of the state that you've been wanting to explore or even travel to a different state. This is a great way to get to know your friends better because you'll be in a car together for so long! Disclaimer: you will be in a car with these people A LOT so make sure you know you'll be able to handle being with them for that long.

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.
