What's Fall And What's Halloween

Americans are weird

What's Fall And What's Halloween
pinimg.com

Trees are turning red and yellow, and everything looks cozy and romantic. Nice little breeze gently touching my face is one of the best feelings. ESPECIALLY when you have your headphones on and are listening to your favorite music. That being said, I believe it is a sufficient explanation of my appreciation for fall. However, I don't like Halloween. I don't hate it. Don't get me wrong. It just doesn't excite me as much as it seems for other people.

I guess it's one of those traditional, fun, exciting holidays that America celebrates (but it's not even American. Halloween is Scottish. But who cares). I think it's really cute for little kids to go trick or treating in their cute little costumes. Imagine these children filled with excitement and anticipation, laughing with their friends, and so much joy on their face. That's actually adorable. I love seeing kids having fun. That's cute.

I'm not dismissing the folks who love Halloween. Everyone has his or her weird obsession (I'm not telling you mine). You do you, man. If you love Halloween, go full out! If dressing up as Jigsaw in the film, Saw, makes you super excited and happy for the night, go for it! (that was me two Halloweens ago lol) I still try to dress up and have fun with my friends because everyone is filled with anticipation and that kind of vibe gets me excited, too.

BUT I hate seeing these women with fully developed breasts and butt dressed up all slutty, using Halloween as an excuse to let free their inner hoe. I hate seeing these ignorant, insensitive people wearing culturally inappropriate costumes, using somebody else's significant part of culture for the sake of that one night so they can have fun. But, I guess I am being too sensitive, and unable to enjoy one of the biggest holidays and have fun. You can call me names for not being passionately in love with Halloween, but I am a foreigner whose holidays are quite cooler than Halloween, so lol deal with it (sorry not sorry).

Lastly, full-on Halloween decorations always freak me out. They give me goosebumps. They always make me think, "Americans are weird."

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.
