8 Ways To Flow in the Cuffing Season

Let's face it. It's sweater season. It's getting colder. Time to bring out the Ugg boots. It's time to mentally prepare yourself for the holiday season. That's right, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and we can even wrap it up with Valentine's Day. This is also the season to take that special relationship to the next level. It's time to start thinking about how you want to spend these holidays with that special someone. Now, I'll give you some advice on how to be successful in this season.

1. Transparency

It's time to be honest and upfront about your feelings. If you have a crush on someone, take that risk and express yourself because, you never know how they feel.

2. Commitment

When you're successful, don't stop putting in a 110% effort. Prioritize. Especially if your a college student, this is also a time of major exams, but instead of getting distracted, you now have acquired a new source of motivation. Use it. You and your lover should be each other's cheerleader, tutor, motivational speaker. If you think about it, the quicker you're finished with your homework and the more successful you are, the longer you can play.

3. Actions Speak Louder than Words

This cuffing season, remember that there is a whole lot more value in what do you for another person, than just saying what you would like to do for them. Especially in the Cuffing Season. (Vote, please, every vote counts.)

4. Be Happy. Be Yourself.

You don't have to put up a front to get someone's attention. Trust me, if it's real, they will notice you and gravitate towards you. The feeling will be mutual, and that mutual feeling will be the best feeling ever.

5. Don't Be Afraid

Another aspect of the cuffing season, don't be afraid to let your significant other meet your family. If he/she is really someone significant, they'll just have to accept your family, even if they are the most dysfunctional. If you personally don't even accept your own family, maybe your lover will help you overcome that barrier so you can grow as a better person.

6. Share

Share your space. Share your love. Share your thoughts on life. Share your time. Share your food. Why? Why not?

7. Be Open-minded

During this cuffing season, your lover might be very different from you. For example, they might come from a totally different culture. They may even be of a different race. However, these are the differences you are attracted to. In addition to that, be ready to learn new things about yourself in this journey.

8. Be Spontaneous

Forget about routine. Live in the moment, and enjoy each other's company. Don't be afraid to be scared about the future, and let your relationship grow.

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?
