Hallmark Channel

Ah, the Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas.

You've probably heard of it, even if you've never seen it. It's a wonderful gift that we don't deserve where the Hallmark Channel plays original movies 24 hours a day until Christmas. It's an emotional experience to get invested in the Hallmark Channel and once you get sucked in, you'll never go back.

1. You turn on the Hallmark Channel to see what the hype is about

It's an explosion of Christmas. Why are there so many sweaters? Why does the whole town take Christmas so seriously?

2. You suddenly have watched three movies without realizing it

How did time fly by so quickly? They never stopped showing movies and I never left my couch.

3. You've seen so many movies in one sitting, you realize they're all kind of the same thing and grow resentful

What is all the fuss about? I've seen one. I've seen them all.

4. Ba Humbug! You HATE the Hallmark Channel!

There's no reason to like this channel! It's idiotic! The movies have the same actors even. This is a crime against humanity. We deserve better programming.

5. You had a bad day and like a gift from the heavens, Hallmark channel is still playing Christmas movies even at this late hour. So you decide to watch another

They're just there. They're playing all the time. They never stop. It's like... they're waiting for me to watch them.

6. You realize Hallmark channel is happiness, joy and the most wholesome thing you need in your life

Nothing can bring you down, you have the Hallmark channel.

7. You have to tell everyone about how much you love the Hallmark channel

Everyone needs this Christmas joy in their life! How have I lived without this masterpiece? Have you seen this movie? I loved that one with the girl and the guy and the house! Yes and the one with the prince! Or the one with the doctor!

8. You defend the Hallmark channel to ALL nay-sayers!

"THE HALLMARK CHANNEL IS MAGICAL CHRISTMAS GOODNESS! I DON'T CARE THAT THEY'RE ALL THE SAME! I LIKE THAT I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE LIFE DOESN'T HAVE HAPPY ENDINGS BUT THE HALLMARK CHANNEL DOES! THE HALLMARK CHANNEL ALWAYS HAS HAPPY ENDINGS!"

9. You believe in love again and dream of moving to a small Christmas town with the best Christmas cookies ever

Nothing can get better than this!

10. And then... Christmas is over. And the movies are gone. But the Christmas magic is still in your heart.

You look at the Hallmark channel sometimes and remember a time when the movies were there for you to watch whenever you wanted. You smile because you love them. You smile because you're sad. You smile because that's what Hallmark Christmas movies would want you to do even though they are gone.

11. Then the holidays come around again and you get to rewatch your favorite Christmas movies! Even some new ones! And everything is right with the world.

Yay! Chrsitmas time is here again!

12. Most importantly, the Hallmark channel stays in your heart forever for Christmas seasons to come

Because you know, you're home when you're watching the Hallmark channel.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
