You haven't just heard it once, but you've heard it a million times. So called "cuffing season" is upon us, and suddenly everyone is freaking out over being single the closer we get to the holiday season. Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself, think about all the things you need instead of a boyfriend.

A good night's sleep

A vacation

A snack

Pizza

 A night hanging out with your friends in pajamas

 Brunch

 To start keeping a journal

 A whole box of your favorite chocolate

 A spa-like bath

New lipstick

 A date with your mom

 To play your music as loud as possible

 Ben & Jerrys

 A Mexican food themed night

 A nap

 To dance around in your room

 A new Pinterest board

 A new hair do

 Another credit card

 To live your life

 To have fun

The ability to not have to share food

 A date night with yourself

 A picnic

 Taco Tuesday

 A stroll through Target

 To go to a farmer's market

 A new book to read

 A savings account

 To go on a walk

 Concert Tickets

 To rearrange your room

 To purge your closet

 A budget plan

To go grocery shopping

 To take up yoga

 To try new cuisines

 A throwback playlist 

 The confidence to not depend on someone for happiness 

Instead of freaking out as the weather gets cooler, think about the more important things you need than that guy who won't text you back.

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.

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.
