What to bring to the US?
You must be very excited after getting the ticket to the University of Minnesota. I still remember how happy I was when I received the admission letter last year. In the last 3 months before leaving Beijing, I spent most of my pocket money buying stuffs to bring to the US. Shopping was so much fun of course, but it would be much more efficient to list out the items that are necessary before stepping into the malls.

Pi day and earth hour day!
Well I learn something this month. My statistics classmate asked me March 14 if I knew Pi day. I though she said "Pie day" first...which was kind of weird. But no, she was talking about Pi day (3/14) as in Pi the number that's 3.141592654.....isn't that interesting?!?!? And that day happens to be Einstein birthday too!!!
The other one was Earth Hour day, March 29.................

just relax...
Many students begin to feel stressful since the midterms are coming. Please stay calm and try to arrange your time because you will find you can be extraordinary productive. "Study hard, play hard." It is always the easiest thing to say but the hardest thing to do. Don't be too pusshing to yourself and try your best to balance your life.
Here, I am going to suggest some amazing spots for you to hang out with your friends, so just relax for a while.
The best place to check out is always the Coffman Union. They have free movies for U of M students, great parties every Friday and Saturday night, and also wonderful workshops for ambicious students. Want to know more? Just check out their website at http://www.sua.umn.edu/.
If you prefer to spend time by yourself, there are many libraries you can go. In addition, you may be supprised to find some Museum Adventure Pass at counters. Those passes are like free tickets to almost every museum in Minnesota. It is definitely a good way to relax while learning something.
Recreation Center is always my favorite. It is free to get in for all U of M students. They have very nice swimming pool, basketball fields, training equipments, and many other services. You can also buy a fitness pass to attent classes like yoga and aerobics. There is no better options than doing some exercises in the REC Center, cause while you release yourself, you are also getting healthier!
Want to know more? Tell me what you like, I can always find the best spot for you to relax!
