50 Fun Things To Do While In College

I think one reason that people tend to get really down at college is because they don’t get out. If you’re stuck in your dorm for hours, days, and weeks at a time it can be extremely isolating. It’s no fun. It gives you nothing to really look forward to! This post is sponsored by Heart-n-Soul Community Cafe. All opinions are my own. I thought I would put together a list of different events that you can attend to while in college! They aren’t going to be specific college events. It might be events that happen at school, in the city, or things like that! I go to NDSU so some of the things on the list may be based more in the Fargo Moorhead area. But, I know other students from different colleges read this so I’m going to try and name things that probably most cities offer you’ll just have to Google it’s information!

1. Red River Market (Farmer’s Market)
2. Heart-n-Soul Community Cafe
   • A pop up cafe that provides nutritional, locally grown food in the F-M area. They welcome all people, regardless of their economic status. This allows community members who may not be able to afford a meal, to come and enjoy a nutritious meal like they would at a restaurant, no questions asked. They have suggested prices that guests can choose to pay the suggested amount, pay additional to that price to pay it forward, or pay what they are able, even if it is less than the suggested amount. They are a pop up which means they change their location throughout the month with varying dates and times each month. To view their upcoming dates visit here. Whether you want to join them for a nourishing meal or volunteer your time for this amazing nonprofit visit their site or Facebook.
3. Sport’s Games (football, softball, volleyball, golf, basketball)
4. Marathon
