5 Things That I'm Forever Grateful For

Thanksgiving is upon us, and I can truly say that I love this time of year. I feel like we always want to rush into the holiday season and not spend a lot of time on Thanksgiving, but there are things that we often don't give thanks to that truly deserve it; it's usually the little things in life that we neglect, but these often matter the most. I feel bad for not formally appreciating these things for all of these years, given the support they have provided me. These things do more for me than I could ever ask them to do, and I hope that after this they know how much they mean to me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. Here's a list of things that I am grateful for:

1. Cinnamon rolls

How does one express their thankfulness for something that is too good for this world? Their selflessness has gotten me through rough times. When I needed someone, they were always there. Thank you, cinnamon rolls, for bettering the world. There's never a day that goes by where I'm not grateful.

2. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

This could be the solution that we need to achieve world peace. It's like a therapy I never knew I needed, and I feel at peace every time I walk out of my local Menchie's. This frozen yogurt helps me make rational decisions and I don't know what I'd do without it. I'm so thankful.

3. Fruit

Mother Nature did me a solid when she made fruit. I've grown up alongside it, and I can say that our relationship hasn't changed. Fruit never turned its back on me and although it can get sour with the seasons, it always comes back as beautiful as ever (but it won't if we don't get serious about our bees, whoops). Anyways, I love you, fruit, and I thank you for always being there for me.

4. Chocolate chip cookie brownies

Whoever invented these deserves a Nobel Prize. Taking two very pure and beautiful things and combining them was an act that only a genius could do. I want to thank not only chocolate chip cookies, but brownies. You guys have really changed my life.

5. Peanut butter

You've got to be the purest substance on the planet. I put you on things that I probably shouldn't, but it's just because you always make me so happy. There's not a day that goes by where I don't take you out of the cupboard and admire the beauty that is you. Your existence makes me grateful.

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.

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.
