October through December is probably the best time of the year, in my humble opinion. Besides the general beauty of autumn and crisp snowfall, these months hold my favorite holidays. Halloween has sadly finished up, though the spooky decorations in my dorm might show otherwise, and next up we've got the wonderfully tummy-bloating Thanksgiving. Traditions for this holiday include gathering with loved ones to absolutely stuff yourself, pass out, and then stuff yourselves again with leftovers, and of course giving thanks for the important people and things in your life. I thought I'd put together a list of a few things I am definitely appreciating this week.

1. Cozy oversized sweaters

2. Wikipedia

3. Those backpacks that look two-dimensional

4. Having access to clean water

5. S’mores

6. Mood lighting

7. Dogs in costumes

8. Thirty minutes of ad-free music on Spotify

9. Hot chocolate on a rainy day

10. Bralettes

11. When your hands get massaged while getting a manicure

12. Free Teavana samples

13. A seaside breeze

14. Potato buns

15. Being able to study the major I want

16. Flannel

17. Parks and Recreation

18. Leg warmers

19. Tiny cacti

20. Sunsets

21. Having a bed and warm comforter to jump under after a shower

22. Standup comedy

23. BOGO sales

24. Crisp snowfall

25. The Food Network

26. Teachers who don’t assign homework over breaks

27. Foam soaps

28. Cat ear headbands

29. Bathrobes

30. The dog filter on Snapchat

31. Nyx lipsticks

32. Chocolate almond milk

33. Blanket and pillow forts

34. Scented candles

35. Coffee

36. Soft toilet paper

37. Free shipping

38. Washing machines

39. Sushi

40. The color of leaves in the fall

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.

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.

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.
