The cooler weather is ALMOST here in the south. Fall is probably one of my favorite seasons, especially with football season. No more dripping in sweat, you can wear cute booties to the game, and slip on your cozy sweaters to stay warm. This article may come off super basic, but I am very okay with that. Even though, it is not exactly fall here doesn't mean we can't get excited about it. Let the list begin with all things snug and fun for the fall. Here are the things to look forward to.

5. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

Yes, that means that Starbucks' brought back the pumpkin spice latte and there go all of our dining dollars! Pumpkin desserts like pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie are all back. Even pumpkin candles, Target came out with a dozen of fall candles including pumpkin.

4. Sweater Weather

Time to pull your sweaters out of the back of your closet and cozy into them. You can wear them with everything and they keep you warm. You can rock with them a skirt or jeans or even your big t-shirts. Why not!

3. Decorating

One of my favorite things to do in fall is to decorate my house in fall decorations. You can visit local pumpkin patches and use them to decorate. Halloween is quickly approaching so you can decorate with spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, etc.

2. Halloween Candy

College kids may be too old to trick-or-treat, but they still love candy. From candy corns to chocolate, fall time has got it all. Even if you are not a big fan of candy, you can enjoy some hot chocolate or even apple cider with a nice caramel or candy apple.

1. Halloween

Last, but not least is Halloween. A kid's favorite holiday! It's a time to dress up to whatever your heart desires. Also, Halloween date parties are right around the corner! Better start thinking about your costumes, because there are only a few more weeks until it is here.

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.
