10 Good Things About Summer Coming To An End

I love summer and I'm sad to see it coming to an end in about a month, but I also love fall. Fall is a beautiful and peaceful season. My birthday is in the fall so that's another reason for me to love the autumnal equinox. It truly is my favorite season.

If it's also your favorite season, here are 10 good things about summer coming to an end:

1. Bye bye, bugs

The best thing about summer coming to an end? The bugs disappear! No more fighting mosquitos and other insects while trying to enjoy the outdoors.

2. HALLOWEEN IS COMING

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I'm excited that it's getting closer! I love scary movies, dressing up and all of the candy!

3. All the leggings!

One thing I love about the weather cooling down is I get to wear leggings with just about everything: sweater dresses, cardigans, long shirts, knee-high boots. Leggings are one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing and I love wearing them every day.

4. The tourists go home

Another thing I love about summer ending is the tourists go home! From late May through early September, it is impossible to get anywhere on time or get a decent seat at a local restaurant without a swarm of tourists being in the way. After Labor Day, life slows down and it's fantastic.

5. Apple Cider is back!

I love apple cider, especially hot apple cider! Not to mention the apple cider and doughnuts you get when you visit an orchard.

6. The colorful leaves

Fall's beauty is truly breathtaking. There's something calming about standing outside on a crisp fall morning and looking at the colorful leaves on the trees or driving past the trees on the highway.

7. Snuggling weather!

It feels so good to snuggle with your loved one or pet when it's not 95 degrees and humid.

8. PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!

9. You can actually bake again

I love to bake, but it's far too hot to bake in the summer time. Once fall rolls around, I start baking cookies, cakes, pies, etc. After all, it's comfort food season!

10. End of summer clearance sales!

When it's the end of summer, I hit up the clearance sales so I can get what I need for next summer since it will be here again before we know it.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
