Halloween is a popular holiday that is celebrated throughout the world. It originated from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. People during the festival would light bonfires, and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. When Pope Gregory the third designated November 1 as All Saints Day incorporated some of the Samhain Traditions. The evening before All Saints Day was called All Hallows Eve, but later was called Halloween instead. Here's a guide to Halloween.

Pumpkin seeds are good! If you've never had pumpkin seeds, you should try them. Painting and carving pumpkins are fun as well. Growing up, I carved pumpkins, but now I would rather paint them.

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.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

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?
