It's finally time to break out the open-toed heels!

It's finally Spring, and you know what that means: no more dreading the horrors that come with the freezing cold weather (A.K.A. hiding under layers of thick clothing) and lack of sunshine. Spring comes with more than just April showers and May flowers. Here's your (basic) girl's guide to Spring:

1. Never leave the house without sunglasses

Is that sunshine I actually see? Oh, yeah, it is. I keep a pair of sunglasses with me in every single one of my purses, backpacks, and tote bags so I'm never stranded without one. Experiment with different styles of sunnies to see what works and what doesn't. Also, coordinating your glasses with your outfit is a look.

2. Open-toed heels are a girl’s best friend

I've been counting down the days until I can finally wear my favorite pair of shoes: my nude, four-inch-tall open-toed heels. I wear them to class, to the city, or out to parties because they're so versatile. I've worn these babies for hours at a time and not had any problems because they're honestly one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own.

3. To sunscreen or not to sunscreen

Sun can be great, but it can also be painful (my pale friends know this too well). Know what type of skin you have and plan accordingly: bring sunscreen and SPF face cream everywhere if need be.

4. Fifty shades of spring

If you know you're going to tan this season, buy foundation and concealer in slightly darker tones to match your color. Nothing's worse than when your makeup and the skin tone on the rest of your body doesn't match.

5. Stock up on face wash

The higher temperature in the spring can make you sweaty (not the most glamorous topic, I know). Fight any acne that may be trying to form due to this perspiration by washing with face wash.

6. New hair, who this?

The change of seasons is a great time for a new hairstyle, like dying your hair, going shorter, or getting bangs. Plus, it's always a good idea to get a trim for the warm weather because less hair means an easier time dealing with the heat.

7. A new season calls for new tunes

Make a playlist to get you pumped for Spring and discover new artists!

8. Hit the gym!

New season, new you! Set new health and fitness goals for the Spring. Plus, Summer is coming and it's never too late to start working on that beach body!

9. Actually doing things outside: a concept

Winter is over so stop hiding inside! There are so many things people do inside that you can do just the same outside. You can also take your workouts outside; ditch the treadmill and take a jog in the open air.

10. A foodie’s dream

The Spring comes with certain fruits and vegetables being in season again. Get ready for a lot more fresh batches of strawberries, pineapples, carrots, and more.

11. Scream for ice cream

Ice cream = the best way to cool off when the temperature rises a bit.

12. Treat yourself to some new nail polish colors

Switch things up and experiment with new colors for your nails. Those dark colors you wore during the Winter were pretty, but the Spring calls for lighter shades.

13. Take advantage of accessorizing

Jewelry always stays hidden during the Winter because of all the layers of clothing we wear. The Spring lets you break out your favorite accessories to complete your 'fits. Placid Beads has some cute and trendy necklaces and bracelets to wear this season!

14. Don’t say goodbye to layers just yet

It can still get chilly during the Spring (especially at night). Keeping a sweater or light jacket with you is never a bad idea.

15. Spoil yourself with a new wardrobe

Everybody needs to treat themselves to some new clothes every now and then.

16. Spring cleaning

Even the cleanest of living spaces need to be tidied up every once in a while. Plus, an organized living (and work) area makes it easier to manage stress.

17. A positive attitude

Shower yourself with positivity and good vibes all Spring 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. 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.
