Christmas is by far one of my favorite holidays. Next to Halloween, of course! I am the kind of person who thinks it is never to early to prepare for the Holidays. Here are a list of things you can do this Christmas with your friends, family, SO, or yourself!

Buy a Christmas tree/lights/decorations/gifts in advance.

There are a lot of people out there who despise premature Christmas decorating. However, if you choose to buy your desired items at the time of the Holidays, chances are you will end up spending more money than you need to. Buying early will also save you time and stress!

Break out the fuzzy socks.

There is nothing like fuzzy socks and pajama pants when it's cold and snowy outside. You can also get away with wearing that ugly sweater that you're strangely obsessed with, but everyone else could do without.

Watch old Disney X-mas movies!

Who doesn't love Disney? And Christmas? Why not combine the two and bring back childhood memories?

Bake cookies. . . .and other desserts.

There's something about the Holidays that gives everyone a sweet tooth.

Take your chances at an ice skating rink.

Hey, it may not be for everyone, but it will definitely be something to remember!

Play board games with your friends/family drinking hot coca, coffee, and eating cookies with Christmas music in the background.

The most important part of the Holiday Season is spending quality time with your friends, family, or significant other. There are so many activities to plan and try; and who knows? Maybe you'll find yourself a new tradition!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
