8 Reasons To Love Winter

Temperatures are dropping and the potential for snow is in the air. Winter is probably my favorite season, and for good reason, too. Not convinced of this? Here are eight reasons to love Winter:

1. Snow

Snowball fights, snow forts, snowmen, sledding. Plus, there’s nothing more beautiful (and Instagram worthy) than that white powder completely covering all of nature.

2. Sweaters

Sweaters are my favorite article of clothing for a reason. Not only are they warm and cuddly, but throw in an uglyChristmas sweater, and you’ll be the life of the party.

3. Snow Days

There is literally no better feeling than having to wake up early for class only to realize that it’s cancelled.

4. Sports

Sledding, snowboarding, curling, skiing, cross-country skiing snowmobiling, snowball fights, king of the hill, ice skating, hockey, ice fishing.

5. Fireplaces

Coming in from the cold, curling up in a blanket and reading a book next to the fireplace? That’s what I call a perfect Sunday afternoon.

6. Hot Cocoa

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, peppermint. Whichever way you drink it, there’s probably a hot chocolate out there with your name on it.

7. Christmas

No explanation needed.

8. Jesus

He’s great all year round, but there’s something special about the whole Advent season that takes place during Winter.

So don’t be a cotton-headed ninny-muggins. Go out and enjoy the best season of the year.

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.
