Colder weather, glistening lights, our Savior born in a manger, Santa in the mall, music that makes your heart smile, and cheer around every corner. Ah, Christmas! Oh, wait, what is that? Christmas is five months away? Thanks for reminding me. It's getting closer by the second! If you're like me, you don't care what month it is, just thinking about Christmas warms your heart.

1. Your Christmas tree may as well be left up all year

"Well it's January now, so we better put the tree away!" Really? Take down the tree? Just to put it back up in a mere 11 months? Why not just leave it up all year? You scrooges can take down the tree, but why is not acceptable to admire a beautiful Christmas tree in June?

2. Christmas music is appropriate all year round

I may or may not be listening to "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" right now.

3. People telling you, "You can't just skip over Thanksgiving!"

People who say this are the worst and usually only say this nonsense because they're excited about watching football games. I am well aware that Thanksgiving is in November. But tell me, what Thanksgiving music is there for me to listen to? Is there a turkey that you can get your picture taken with at the mall? Name a good Thanksgiving movie. Also yes, Thanksgiving is a very important celebration, but sorry not sorry that I'm a little more excited to celebrate something like the birth of Jesus Christ.

4. October 1st is basically Christmas 1st

Again, yes I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, but as soon as the calendar says October, it's Christmas all day every day for me. There is no such thing as too much celebrating.

5.Hallmark Christmas movies

Okay, these movies are typically super cheesy. They're all basically the same movie told a different way, but who cares? If there's a Christmas tree somewhere in sight, you've got to watch it.

6. You know that Christmas really is "the most wonderful time of the year"

As a Christmas lover, Christmas magic doesn't stop just because you've gotten older. Christmas really is a time when kindness is everywhere. We're preparing to celebrate one of the purest and most beautiful things to ever happen in history. What is more wonderful than that?

7. Hobby Lobby

They do not play when it comes to Christmas.

8. Peppermint and gingerbread everything

Cookies, peppermint bark, hot chocolate, coffee. Everything must taste like Christmas.

9. Starbucks Christmas Cups/Drinks

Red cup, Christmas cup, whatever.

10. The smell of Christmas

Scent is a powerful thing. For a Christmas lover, whether it's peppermint, caramel, marshmallow, or that classic Christmas tree smell, once you smell one of these your brain immediately goes into full on Chrismtas mode (if you somehow weren't already in it, that is).

Now, don't you just want to turn the AC down, put on some Christmas pajamas, light that candle, eat Christmas cookies, and watch your favorite Christmas movie?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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?
