NDSU ENGL 320 Blog 5

     I have lived in Fargo my entire life. It is the only placed I have ever lived also meaning its the only place I know really well. That being said, this blog will be slightly different from my previous blogs, as this blog will be more of an insider's guide to the fun things to do around Fargo.

    Fargo is blessed with being able to have all 4 seasons of the year. We have harsh cold and snowy winters, rainy springs, hot summers, and cool dry falls. One could argue that Fargo has the best seasonal weather variety because you get a little taste of everything. Personally I wish winter only last around 2 months instead of 6 months, but I feel like thats a small price to pay.

    My absolute favorite thing about the Fargo area is summer. Summer in Fargo is about as perfect as it gets in my opinion. It's sunny, the weather stays between about 70 and 90 degrees. This is perfect for spending time outside and enjoying outdoor activities including golfing, thunder road, or driving about an hour out to the lakes area. There is no shortage of fun things to do in Fargo during the summer, you just need to be open to trying new things.

    There are plenty of indoor activities as well to do in Fargo. Some of these activities include trying different restaurants, going shopping, or even just catching a drink somewhere, the possibilities are truly endless. Whether you want the downtown Fargo vibe or just a chill night out in West Fargo, the dinner options are almost too many to choose from. Fargo has multiple great places to shop as well, including our mall which has stores like Best Buy and Lululemon and other large Fargo stores like Scheels all sports. 

    Catching a drink seems to be one of the most popular things to do in the area as well! Whether your looking to go have some beers with the boys and watch sports at one of the local sports bars or you want to get fancy cocktails for girls night out, Fargo has options for both. Overall I think Fargo, North Dakota is one of the most well rounded cities someone could live in. It has everything you need, most of what you want, and even things you've never heard of and still need to try. If you've ever thought about visiting or moving to Fargo, I would highly recommended! Just make sure to bring a winter coat!

  Self Introduction Blog By Thane Kruk     Hi, my name is Thane Kruk and I am a student at NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. I am currently studying construction management and am on pace to graduate in the fall of 2025. So far I am enjoying the construction program at NDSU and felt that I have learned quite a bit about the industry. I am very excited to graduate and begin a full time career in the industry.      However, I was not always a construction management major. When I was a freshman I started college as a business administration major. I chose this path originally because I have always enjoyed learning about business but I also was not sure what I wanted to study in college. After completing my freshman year in the business school I decided to explore the construction management program as I had spent the previous few years working on the labor side of the construction industry.      Aside from having to take a few more generals, the tra...

NDSU ENGL 320 Blog 4 By Thane Kruk     For this blog post we were challenged to "live in the moment" by taking some time to sit quietly for as long as we could with zero distractions. The purpose of this challenge was to try and slow down daily life for a little bit and appreciate it as is. I think this is a good exercise for anyone to try, especially if you ever reach a point in your day where you feel overwhelmed or stressed out.     I completely agree that people tend to not live in the moment and instead try to live in the future. I too am guilty of this as I am always trying to check the next task off my bucket list or come up with a new idea for work. Although you may think that always thinking and working towards something is the only way to achieve it, you may be wrong. Sometimes all you need is to sit down take a deep breathe and try to focus on absolutely nothing. If you clear your mind of all stressors and other thoughts, it can actually allow you to think...

 Online College Courses     In my college career I have taken a pretty sizable number of online classes, in fact I would go as far as saying about 80-90% of my business classes for my Business Administration Minor have been taken online. Unfortunately NDSU doesn't offer their construction management program online or I would be taking some of those online as well. I took my first online class freshman year as a test run to see if it was a good fit for me and I loved it. One specific class I took online was the principles of real estate. Or in this case it was technically called BUSN 347 at NDSU.      As someone who deals with real estate daily as their profession, this class was super enjoyable and insightful. Although I had already known a good amount of the basics I still learned a great deal from the class. I really did like the format of the class and that there was a weekly checklist of tasks and assignments to do. This made the course easily manageabl...
