My Love/Hate Relationship With Fall

In Texas there's no such thing of four seasons.

My Love/Hate Relationship With Fall
Sam White

It's about that time again: Fall is near. I can tell because the leaves are getting ready to change, it's starting to get cooler in the mornings, and my allergies are coming in (literally had a sneezing attack twice now.) I'm super excited for fall this year because fall in Oklahoma is way different from fall in Texas. In Oklahoma, there are all four seasons, but in Texas four seasons is a hotel, not anything to do with nature. So this year fall will be totally different for me. I'm a summer baby, so I've always had a love/hate relationship with fall.

1. Love: I GET TO WEAR LONG SLEEVES

I love love LOVE wearing long sleeves. My closet is full of them right now. I really really want to wear them in the morning, but then by the time I get out of my second class it's a thousand degrees. Also, I have some really cute outfits for the fall games that I need to wear. Mother Nature, please bring cooler weather because my outfits depend on it.

2. Hate: My allergies.

I hate my allergies. HATE. Every time the weather is about to change I can tell because my nose starts getting stuffed up and I start sneezing every second of the day. I hate it. I feel like my face is puffy. A puffy face is not cute AT ALL.

3. Love: Fall colors!

I'm in love with the colors of fall! Reds, greens, orange (Go Pokes), yellow, and brown make the color combinations in the fall. I have so much orange already that it's going to be awesome when fall actually gets here. Hello riding boots, goodbye sandals.

4. Hate: Everything starts getting spooky.

Everyone loves Halloween, Jack-O-Lanterns, haunted houses, horror movies: Not me. I hate scary things. I wish I could just have Thanksgiving and Christmas that's it. No Halloween. Except I'm trying to think of a cute costume for this year (let me know what y'all think I should be). But no scary things!

5. Love: The cute dates that everyone goes on.

Every year pictures of people going on dates in the fall make me so happy (even though I'm single lol) I love seeing people happy! From walking around the lake to carving pumpkins, the dates are too cute. Keep posting those pics y'all!

Ugh every year pictures of people going on dates in the fall makes me so happy (even though I'm single lol) I love seeing people happy! From walking around the lake to carving pumpkins, the dates are too cute. Keep posting those pics y'all!

6. Hate: Everything is PUMPKIN

Now, I love the smell of Bath and Body Works pumpkin scents, but what I can not stand is when everyone is posting their pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks or the pumpkin pie slices. I can't. I am not a fan of pumpkin. Stop putting pumpkin in/on everything.

Overall fall is amazing and it's a beautiful season. There are just some things that come with fall that I could totally do without. I'm ready to get my leggings out, though!

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.
