Christmas is, in fact, the best time of the year. Of course, we cannot forget about Thanksgiving, but, unfortunately for Thanksgiving, Christmas is kind of like the cooler older sibling.

I mean, come on, Christmas has Christmas trees, decorations, snow, presents, my birthday and the best of all — Christmas cookies!

Christmas cookies are often enjoyed for their delectable taste, but a little-known fact is that they are also perfect for describing college majors! Here is the definitive ranking of some college majors as Christmas cookies!

1. Art Majors: Sugar Cookies

Just like Sugar Cookies, Art majors come up with unique ways to do the same thing — they're always looking for a way to elevate a project or assignment. Just like how sugar cookies come in tons of different shapes, sizes and host various decorations.

2. Business Majors: Gingerbread Cookies

Just like Gingerbread cookies, business majors are a classic staple. They're versatile and appropriate for many different holiday occasions, just like business majors can take a variety of career paths.

3. Journalism/Communication Majors: Dipped Ginger Cookies

Communication and Journalism majors have a strict way of doing things — they know exactly how to get the story they want through an age-old process. However, they aren't afraid to try something new to get the story they want, either, just like how dipping these classic cookies in white chocolate gives them a new look, trying out a new story method can give a story a fresh angle as well.

4. English Majors: Peppermint Cookies

English majors often get questioned about the practicality of their major, similarly, peppermint cookies often get questioned because mints already exist. But, just like English majors — peppermint cookies are a vital force in the world.

5. History Majors: Christmas Tree Cookies

Christmas trees are a staple symbol of Christmastime — similarly, history majors are able to tell you all about the important or notorious events from different points in history!

6. Biology Majors: Snowball Cookies

Biology majors are always up for a new experiment to discover something new — just like how snowball cookies can be filled with many different things and are always a surprise!

7. Psychology Majors: Lemon Curd Sandwich Cookies

Seemingly straightforward, but actually one of the hardest majors to study (and cookies to make) out there!

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
