Halloweekend is upon us all, and whether it's a two-day or five-day event, the stress is real. Between the costumes and candy, it's easy to be overwhelmed. Are you going as a sweet angel or maybe a devil? With the ability to be whoever you want to be, the possibilities are endless. So here's to a Halloweekend to remember... or not.


1. Realizing that Halloween is only a week away.

Midterms are done and all of a sudden you realize that Halloween is only a week again! You haven't thought of any costume ideas, and for some reason you've already lost all the theme clothing you brought with you. Time to start panicking!


2. Spending more time Amazon Prime-ing yourself things you probably don't need over studying

You'll eventually use all that body glitter, not to mention that 12-pack of every animal ears that you could think of, and for one-day shipping, it's totally worth it! Your parents may call asking if your account got hacked, but we know it's for a good cause.


3. Having meetings to make sure that everyone knows what the group costume is

Nothing says true friendship than like a mandatory meeting to discuss costumes. I mean are we matching or not? It's a Halloween essential!



4. Calling your parents to have them send you something last minute

Remember that cute costume you wore to the Halloween party senior year? Well, imagine how good it would look at your first college Halloween. Doesn't matter that it's almost midnight, I'm sure your parents would be more than happy to go through all your old clothes to find it!


5. The internal struggle of doing an individual costume or matching with a friend

You and your best friend would make two hot bunnies, but what about that cheetah costume you have?! Good thing there enough days to do both!


6. Figuring out what frats to go to

With so many options, it's hard to choose. You can try to hit them all, but you should probably rank your preferences in order. Do you stick with what you know best, or venture to a new one? If there's any time to try something new, it's Halloween!


7. Participating in the Halloween diet

Candy, candy, and more candy. Thanks for the care package mom and dad!


8. Making it through the school week

Essay due on Monday and a Spanish test on Tuesday, but all you're thinking of is what day to wear what costume. Priorities.


9. Getting ready to go out

Classes are done and you haven't slept enough, but there's no time for rest. There is fake blood to be applied and pictures to take. Is it too early to start the pregame at 8?


10. Dancing the night away with your best friends

Halloween is a magical time where you can be whoever you want and get away with things you might not have been able to do before. But we all know that the best memories are usually spent on elevated surfaces with your best friends.


11. Getting ready to do it all again next year

You're overtired and probably a little sick. You had some good nights and probably a bad one too, but you always know there's next year and you can't wait to do it all over again!

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?

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.
