October officially marks the beginning of the holiday season. There are so many fun activities to do with friends and family to kick off fall and really get in the spirit. Here are the top 10 absolute best things about October for anyone as obsessed with this time of year as I am.

1. Carving pumpkins

Even though it’s guaranteed to come out lopsided and disproportionate, it's fun and roasting the seeds is delicious, aka food so obviously yes.

2. Candy

Just another excuse to put ourselves into a sugar induced coma which is always welcome.

3. Apple picking

We all go for the Instagram pic, but it’s still a lot of fun.

4. Apple cider donuts

The single best fall treat hands down.

5. Foliage

Most beneficial for use in artsy snapchat stories but also pretty to look at.

6. Sweaters

Fall clothes are the best, no question.

7. Halloween

Now accepting guesses for the most basic costume of 2017.

8. Movies

Halloweentown, Twitches, Hocus Pocus, what more could you ask for?

9. Football Sundays

Another excuse to eat food and sit on the couch all day. Who doesn't like that?!

10. The official beginning of the holiday season

Christmas is basically right around the corner!!

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.

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?
