In This Article:

February is the most brutal month in the Midwest because it is fully winter and cold and snowy. By this time of the year, I am sick of it. Spring is on the horizon, but there's still a long way to go.

Here are 11 places I'd rather be than in the Midwest.

1. Hawaii

I would rather be sitting on Hawaii's many beaches right now.

2. Bahamas

A cruise to the Bahamas would be ideal.

3. California

That California sunshine would feel amazing on my face.

4. Cancun

Wouldn't mind escaping to a different country.

5. Florida

Anywhere in Florida sounds perfect right now.

6. Texas

Not tropical, but still warm.

7. Louisana

I've always wanted to go to New Orleans.

8. Arizona

I would do anything to see a cactus right now. Cacti = warm

9. Brazil

That view though.

10. New Zealand

Never been, but supposedly it is warm during this time of the year. But even if it is cold, at least I am not in the Midwest.

11. Dominican Republic

Palm trees for miles.

12. Jamaica

Let me just sit down in those chairs and watch the waves roll in.

13. Argentina

This looks very unique.

14. Costa Rica

Looks like a tropical paradise.

15. Tennessee

I just really like Tennessee.

16. South Carolina

It just looks like a whole lot of fun.

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

By: James McDonald

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.
