We wouldn't love shiplap or demo day without you.

HGTV

As most of Chip and JoJo's fans have probably heard by now, Season 5 of the HGTV show Fixer Upper, which premiers this fall, will be their last season.

After there were rumors swirling around this summer about why the show was ending and if it was ending, the couple finally released an official statement saying that their fifth season would be their last and that their faith and relationship is stronger than ever.

Well, Chip and Joanna Gaines, although there are so many of us who have watched your journey and are so saddened by this, we want to raise a glass to you and say thank you.

Thank you for giving us some of the best designs and for turning any house that looks completely hopeless into a dream home. You have a way of showing us that all things can be restored and more than that, can be better than ever with some hard work, a creative mind, and a lot of love. There are so many projects that you'd show clients and they would look around and say they don't see your vision, but they all have one thing in common (that the viewers at home had as well): they trusted you. With that, so much was possible and it was amazing watching the transformations on this show come to life.

Thank you for making us laugh. Seriously, Chip, you take the cake on this one. You two are so loving and aren't afraid to be your goofy and authentic selves and it doesn't go unnoticed. It's not easy working long hours, especially in the hot Texas sun, and the fact that you both always find time to do fun things together along the way shows that when it's all said and done, a job is just a job and having fun while working is so important. Beyond that, your relationship goes to show that no one is perfect but having someone who you can go through the rough times with but also play and laugh like a kid with is so incredibly important.

Thank you for bringing us into your home and showing us the importance of family. Watching your kids grow up on the show is something that most parents might shy away from to protect their kids, but I think in your case, it's made your fans and audience feel so involved and love the two of you so much more. It's awesome that you two spend time with your kids, specifically make time for your kids, but also bring cameras along to show the cool and fun things you do as a family. It's hard this day in age to see a real family that respects and loves each other also has fun together.

Thank you for being honest and showing that there are bumps along the way. In most episodes, you ran into some type of problem. It may be that the foundation on a house is completely cracked or that the house was missing something so Jo had to go find an accent decoration to make something look just right. Regardless, it's like life and you show us that sometimes you need to have a backup plan or alter your plans altogether to reach your goal. Things can get messy and you'll have to get dirty (or in Chip's case, sweaty) but if you do, your project will turn out worth it and beautiful in the end.

Thank you for taking us on your journey. Thank you for bringing to light all that Waco and Texas has to offer. Thank you for giving us some of the best design ideas we've seen and for having each home you touch hold a special place in your viewers' hearts. Thank you for being silly and happy and strong and cooperative and hard-working in a day where sometimes that's all we need to feel better. Thank you for giving us Magnolia and more than that, a show that feels like we're a part of a family.

Oh and most of all, thank you for #DemoDay and shiplap. Seriously, the world wouldn't be the same without it.

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?

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.
