If I have not expressed how much I love Fall, then I have failed to represent myself. Fall is such a wonderful season because it is absolutely perfect! The leaves are a vibrant orange with the combination of brown and yellow, the wind comes out to play more, it is chilly enough where heavy jackets are not required to keep warm, and all the seasonal smells that begin to pop up all around because of the four big American holiday's coming up: Halloween, November, Christmas and New Years.

Because I love Fall so much, there are ten ways I do to prepare myself and my surroundings for my favorite season.

1. I start to wear my summer clothes more and more until it is no longer acceptable to wear my skirts, dresses, and even shorts because it is too cold and windy in the mornings to try to put up with Mother Nature. I am a person who gets cold easily and does not like feeling uncomfortable.

2. I slowly begin to put my scarfs on display for myself. This also makes it easier to grab one when I am running late in the mornings or I just need to quickly choose a scarf for last minute plans.

3. I start browsing on the internet for Halloween costume once mid-September hits. I make a list of the different personas I could dress up as and how I can get the cheapest deals. I might be window shopping for costumes, but I am still a broke college student. I also start online-window shopping for fall clothing because I always want more long-sleeved shirts.

4. I start searching Netflix and all other places where I could watch my favorite Halloween and Holiday movies and accumulating a list. I believe that Fall does not properly start unless there are movies involved. I will usually watch these on my own, but having movie nights with friends is fun too.

5. Last, but not least, I make sure my mugs are always ready for me to grab whenever I feel like drinking a nice cup of tea or even hot chocolate. Drinking warm liquids is just another way to get into the atmosphere and I know atmospthere is everything when I want to fully embracace the Fall season.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
