October has come and gone and all we are left with are vague memories of the 31st and bellies stuffed full of candy (that's okay, we'll hit the gym tomorrow...). Since trick-or-treating has been deemed "inappropriate" for college students (Can you believe it?!), the fabulous idea of "Halloweekend" parties has been put in its place. While dressing up as a little kid meant making a pit-stop at the costume store and picking out your favorite princess/superhero, this tradition takes on a whole new form in college. Although there are a plethora of costumes to choose from, college girls for some reason always gravitate towards a few classics. Who knows, maybe they really do love bunnies, or maybe they just want an excuse to wear the ears and look really hot. Either way, here is a list of the 11 most basic costumes seen this Halloween.

1. Space Alien

The amount of girls that wore this outfit was "out of this world"

2. Cop

Let's not forget the handcuffs. They're an essential part of the outfit.

3. Bunny/animal with ears

Throwback to Mean Girls (no one does it as well as Regina)

4. Minions

Good thing girls always run in packs.

5. Firefighter

Psssh...what a lame costume..it's not like I ever wore this...

6. Risky Business

Definitely don't have to buy a costume for this one.

7. Catholic School Girls

I never thought those uniforms would actually come in handy but I was wrong

8. Some sort of couple costume

PB&J, Cop and Donut, you name it.

9. Fruit

It sounds weird but looks delicious

10. Doctor/Nurse

Any excuse to wear scrubs, am I right ladies?

11. A Duo from a movie/TV show

Whether it be Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl or Rachel and Monica from Friends, we've seen it before.

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.
