Nothing is worse than the beginning of the year limbo. It’s not really summer anymore and it’s not really fall yet either. School just started and everyone is still getting back into their routine. There are no long weekends or holidays to look forward to -- except Halloween, but that’s still ages away. The weeks start to drag on and it begins to look very bleak. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not all bad, there are plenty of things to look forward to this week.

  1. The First Day Of Fall

All I can say is finally! It feels like we’ve been waiting for Fall to officially start for months now. On thursday it will finally be acceptable to look forward to Halloween, go apple picking, and eat all of the pumpkin flavored things your heart desires. It also means we can start wearing fall colors, orange, brown, red, basically anything that you would see fall off of a tree this time of year (disclaimer: I am not a fashion expert -- I don’t really know if these are fall colors or if it is acceptable to wear them yet. Please consult any fashion magazine for real advice).

2) All The Cups Of Coffee You’ll Drink This Week

I’m sorry to all the people who don’t drink coffee, but like seriously, is that a thing? I think you should try it again, it’s really incredible. I hate that I have become such a stereotype, but I love my coffee in the morning, and in the afternoon, and sometimes the evening. Everything about it is amazing: the smell, the look, the taste. I would instagram it every morning if that was socially acceptable. My coffee makes my morning, and so therefore my week. What I wouldn’t give for a cup right now.

3) TV Is Back

Wahoo! Everyone should throw their hands in the air and do a dance because the shows are back this week. We can finally say goodbye to the terrible summer television we have been suffering through and say hello again to actually good TV. Maybe we’ll find out How exactly To Get Away With Murder, if Mindy and Danny will get back together, or if Jane will stay a virgin forever, and so much more. There is honestly nothing better than the start of a new TV season because it’s all so exciting and fresh and hasn’t had the chance to disappoint you yet. When TV is back, life is good.

4) My Dad’s Birthday

Ok everyone, Thursday is my dad, Macy Kisilinsky’s, birthday. He loves birthday messages so make sure to make a reminder and write him something nice on his wall on Thursday. I’m sure he’s looking forward to it. You’re turning 30 right? Have a happy birthday, Daddy, love you!

5) The Weekend

Ok, I know what you’re going to tell me, it’s not healthy to start looking forward to the weekend on Monday. But first of all, don’t tell me what’s healthy and what’s not, I’ll get through the week however I need to get through the week. And second of all, it’s totally fine, it builds excitement and teaches patience. The weekend was one of the greatest things ever invented, so it’s only natural to look forward to it. You can jam in as much fun stuff as possible or totally chill and veg out on the couch. The weekend is the perfect way to revamp for the next week and come up with another five things to look forward to.

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.
