10 Must-Haves In Your Summer Bag

With the summer just starting, most of us are switching out our spring purses to summer satchels. Spring is the time of year where classes are ending and summer is the only thing on your mind. But you still have to push through those last couple of weeks in the semester so you may throw a book or two in your bag to study wherever you are. Now, finally its summer! Time to switch out the light shaded pastel purse to something bright and fun. Here are a few essentials that should be in your bag at all times this summer.

1. Compact mirror

This is a summer must-have. It will come in handy for those last minute beauty checks before going out for the night!

2. Mini Brush

We all get that "beached hair" look which can cause for some major hair knots...never fun.

3. Lip Balm

With your hip and trendy sunglasses, you will be turning heads wherever you go!

6. Pocket Size Hand Sanitizer

Just saying, this comes in handy more times then not.

7. Tanning Lotion/Sunscreen

Random beach days? Heck yes! That's the fun of summer. When you are being spontaneous, you will never have to worry about not having your tanning lotion or sunscreen!

8. Speakers/Headphones

This will be the best choice! No matter where you are or who your with great music is always a plus! Plug in your phone to enjoy the jams of the summer.

9. Portable Charger

We all know what 0 percent feels like...

10. Camera

And saving the best for last. This will be your most important item. You will want to capture all the silly and awesome adventures you will have this summer with your friends!

Girls' purses are like their best friend. You never go anywhere without them and it has important value. Make sure this summer that you pack whatever you think will come in handy to you. It's best to fill it with fun and flirty accessories that will be useful to you!

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
