1. NO MORE SUNBURN!

Put away the after-sun because sunburn season is officially O-V-E-R.

2. The Colors.

The changing of the leaves is breathtaking! It makes you feel like you've just stepped into an oil painting!

3. It's Apple Season!

Head out to your nearest U-Pick and gather some fresh apples! It's a fun way to fill your fruit drawer in your fridge. There's nothing like using fresh picked apples to make caramel apples or homemade apple sauce!

4. It’s the Return of Sweater Weather.

It's starting to get cold again so it's time to dive into the back of your closet and pull out those comfy cozy sweaters that are just oh-so warm!

5. Hot Apple Cider is IN!

For Best Results: Heat on the stove at a low heat with a cinnamon stick or two in there too. When ready, top with whipped cream, some natural ground cinnamon, and drizzle with caramel. (Apple cider donuts are also a MUST.)

6. Hunting Season.

For some it's a tradition, for others it's a livelihood.

7. Pumpkin Patches.

You can pick your pumpkin and carve it too.

8. Less Humidity.

My hair will no longer frizz immediately when I step outside and that's definitely something to celebrate.

9. Bonfires.

Not much beats roasting marshmallows over a big fire with some great friends.

10. Freeform's (ABC Family) 13 Nights of Halloween.

The 2016 schedule has been released and includes some fantastically spooky fan-favorites. Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Scooby-Doo, and Practical Magic are just some of the featured movies this year.

11. And Speaking of Movies...

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is a classic and a must-watch during the fall season.

12. Corn Mazes.

Get lost and adventure through a corn maze!

13. The Smell of Burning Leaves.

The trademark smell of fall.

14. Football Season.

Whether you're watching from home or tailgating, it's the season to cheer on your favorite team! There's no better excuse to come together with friends and eat a bunch of wings and nachos while you're at it. Just try to keep your blood pressure at a normal level.

15. Oktoberfest.

If you're looking for a reason to drink beer out of giant steins while wearing Lederhosen then here ya go.

16. Halloween - Time to Get Spooky!

The one time of the year where everyone loves being someone else and it's possible to eat copious amounts of candy with no judgement.

17. No Shave November.

With the end of bikini season, the annoying necessity of the summer months becomes much more of an option.

18. Thanksgiving Feasts.

A food baby has never been more welcome. Time to dive into a giant vat of your favorite Thanksgiving dish and never come out.

19. Haunted Houses and Hay Rides.

Haunted houses are fun if you're looking for a good scare (or maybe even a good laugh). But if people dressed in scary costumes and chasing after you with disabled chainsaws is a little too much for you, hop on a hayride instead!

20. Fall Festivals.

It's fun for the whole family! Lots of towns hold fall festivals that feature scarecrows, rides, flea markets, and lots of yummy fall food.

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.
