First Halloween night in college, seems exciting right? Well here are 5 top survival guides for a halloweekend.

Have multiple costumes ready

Giphy

Halloweekend is not only known for continuous parties on halloween week, but what I learned is to never wear the same costume again. trust me. Have multiple choices and they DON'T have to be slutty.

It's okay to not wear lingerie 

Giphy

Every girl goes to college excited for this month, not because they aren't judged and controlled on what they wear but because they can be free and comfortable in their own skin. Others just use it as an excuse to dress in nothing bu dental floss and an eye patch. BUT if you do not feel comfortable wearing tight revealing clothing then thats okay. Its okay to dress sexy and not reveal so much. Be different and be unique! be comfortable in your own skin

Clubbing

Giphy

If you're trying to go clubbing on halloween, good luck. My first halloween was sent at a club. I was not feeling to well but I did my best to enjoy my time. Do not go to the club and expect to be free and alone. Expect guys hitting on you and trying to feel you up. If partying is not your scene, try going trick or treating, or dressing up for fun! nothing is wrong with that. If you do go, go with your group of friends. Dance your heart out and enjoy a night of candy and costumes!

stick with groups

Giphy

When walking around wearing revealing or sexy costumes, please go with groups. It's hard enough already to try to walk around looking like a god knows what, but being cat called is the worst. Just standing in line I got ass grabbed and it wasn't fun. Being with a group or another person you trust to get you out of bad situations or uncomfortable situations is the key to surviving halloween. Just like when you're kids, you go around in pairs and big groups. You never know what could happen.

Enjoy your night no matter what

Giphy

Avoid drama, enjoy your first college experience. There is nothing wrong with letting loose and being wild. Be safe and smart though, you don't want to end up regretting certain desicions. Happy halloween! Strike of midnight means Christmas! ;)

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.
