I just want Christmas music to be socially acceptable before Thanksgiving already if I'm being honest.

With everything that feels just wrong lately, I would like to feel the same kind of happiness that is usually associated with the holiday season. I'm ready for terrible Hallmark holiday movies and the "Countdown to Christmas" on Freeform.

I'm ready for hot chocolate and colder weather. I'm ready to be bundled in blankets. And listen. to. Christmas. music.

I want to bake gingerbread cookies and wrap presents!

Christmas time is when I feel like people are genuinely in a better mood and less terrible overall, and God only knows that is something we could all use right now.

Christmas makes me feel warm and brings out my inner grandma - I want to make cookies and goodies for everyone and make sure everyone has eaten. I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but there's no denying the feeling that comes when you're surrounded by people that care about you and are genuinely enjoying your company.

Christmas, for me, begins as soon as Halloween ends and there's a good chance I'm probably listening to Christmas music if it's a 'ber month. Besides, Pentatonix just dropped a new album and John Legend dropped a Christmas album too.

I need a little Christmas! Right this very minute! I would like for Christmas lights to be acceptable before Thanksgiving so I could enjoy a ride with cool air while looking at Christmas lights. The idea is extremely calming to me considering everything seems so just "blah" to me at the moment.

I feel like Christmas is just what I need to get a little extra oomph in my step again. Christmas Queen Eileen is ready to reign once again.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.
