I'm always looking forward to this magical time of the year.

19 Reason Why September To January Are My Favorite Months

Summer is officially over! While the favorite for many is over, and many are back at school or work, my favorite months are just around the corner. For me, September until January are by far my favorite months. It's only by the change in temperature (I live in Miami if I'm lucky it can go all the way down to 60 degrees), but these months are full of holidays and festivities.

1. Labor Day Weekend

The last weekend that is socially acceptable to behave as if you were still in summer even if you are already at school or work.

2. Football season is back!

If you like college or professional football you know the action starts right after Labor Day weekend. Finally I get to watch football almost every day of the week for at least 15 weeks!

3. Tailgate

Football and tailgate go like peanut butter and jelly. You can't have one without the other one, and don't worry if sometimes is okay to like tailgating a little bit more than the game.

4. Pumpkin Spice Late

Don't be shy and accept that PSL is probably one of the best thing in the Starbucks Menu.

5. Pumpkins and Pumpkins everywhere

Once October, rolls around, there are pumpkins everywhere. There is a high percentage that you will either go to a pumpkin patch, or crave a pumpkin, and if you are crazy like me, you do all of the above and work or volunteer at a pumpkin patch.

6. Pumpkin Food and Pecan Pie

I don't have words. The food is amazing.

7. Halloween Horror Nights

If you live in Florida or California, you probably have gone to this. Universal Studios comes alive with hordes of horrifying mutants, monsters and maniacs. Explore haunted houses, brave multiple creature-filled scare zones, enjoy outrageous live shows and experience many of the park’s most exciting rides and attractions. If you haven't gone, definitely give it a try this year.

8. Halloween

For those who loved to wear costumes this is your time. For those who don't, go out and enjoy the creativity of some and the fail-costumes of others. This year expect a lot of Harley Quinns.

9. Bonfires

Nothing beats at night with some friends or family and some s'mores. Perfection!

10. Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

It's a family tradition to spent that morning in bed and watch the parade.

11. Thanksgiving

Probably my favorite holiday. I the food is amazing and having the opportunity to spend time with family is a plus. Sometimes things could get a little bit awkward, but try to remember what this holiday is all about.

12. Black Friday / Cyber Monday

As a former retail worker, I'm not a big fan of Black Friday, yet as a college student I love discounts.

13. Peppermint Chocolate

I'm a huge chocolate lover, and this kind of chocolate is definitely my favorite. I just wish it was around longer.

14. Setting up Christmas decorations and Christmas music

Being Latina means that by the time Thanksgiving rolls around I already have my Christmas Tree up and my house is almost ready with all the decoration. Yet as soon as the Friday after Thanksgiving comes, you are going to see me jamming to Christmas music in my car.

15. Buñelos

The best thing ever on earth.

16. Christmas' Eve and Christmas Day

It doesn't matter day what day you celebrate as long as you are close to special ones, open some gifts and have a good time.

17. NEW YEARS

The end and the beginning. You can look back at the the amazing year you had, or you can start fresh as soon as the ball drops at Time Square. It's up to you how you want to make this year. Also, I love those seconds when everyone is screaming, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR"

18. IT IS MY BIRTHDAY

While this is personal, my birthday is on January 30th, and I'm still on those years that I'm excited for my birthday! #teamaquarius.

19. Super Bowl

Technically, it's on February, but I like the Super Bowl. It is an extension of my birthday because it is normally a weekend after my birthday. With an amazing game and half-time show, I conclude my favorite months of the year and start the countdown for college football in September.

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.
