13 Reasons Why Christmas is the Best Holiday

1. Christ's Birthday- This is the number one reason why Christmas is the best holiday. It’s a time where we remember and celebrate the birth of our King, and besides, we wouldn’t have Christmas with Him.

2. My Birthday- My birthday happens to be on Christmas too. :)

3. Family- It’s a time where family comes together, and if they don’t like each other they at least pretend to, sometimes...

4. School break- Everyone loves getting out of school. Christmas break tends to be the longest break of the year. Other than summer!

5. Everyone tends to be nicer- Everyone, for the most part, tends to be nicer, or at least they try.

6. Christmas lights- Who doesn’t like looking at all the different displays of lights, even if they are a pain to put up sometimes.

7. Holiday scents- The smell of baking and the special scented candles.

8. Christmas trees- And let’s not forget that the Christmas trees. The decorating of the tree has always been one of my favorite activities.

9. Candy Canes- The candy canes come out!

10. Traditions- The traditions that get passed down from one generation to the next, creating new ones on the way.

11. Gifts- Who doesn’t like getting gifts!

12. Laughs- The laughs that are shared will always be kept in one's heart.

13. Memories- The memories made will always be treasured.

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?
