New Englander's Top 10 Favorite Fall Things`
Ariel Dumont

Living in Massachusetts for 18 years of my life and now residing in New Hampshire, I have learned a few things about New England. More importantly, I have learned that New Englander's love the fall season including myself. Filled with falling leaves, cool October nights and two holidays, I mean why would it not be our favorite time of year. So here we go, why us New Englander's love fall!

1. Apple picking at the local apple orchard

Every families favorite fall day when they get packed into a car and drive to the orchard. Go for a hay ride to the orchard and pick the best apples you see. Eat about 6 when you are there even if you are not hungry because it is all about the experience.

2. Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee, even on the coldest days

It does not matter if it is below zero temperatures out, we ALWAYS get a iced coffee from Dunks. We do not go to work or school without it. Coffee is what gets most of us through the day. Anyone who likes Starbucks, reconsider.

3. Foliage

It is always fun driving down those New Hampshire roads and seeing the changing leaves falling from the trees. This is where the best foliage pictures are taken, everyone knows that.

4. Football Season

Brady in this gif is how everyone feels come football season. Sunday's become less dreadful and the snacks are incredile. Football is a way of life up in the northeast. Go Pats! (Brady's coming back, sorry Goodell.)

5. Apple Cider Donuts

Another important thing to get when at the orchard is those warm apple cider donuts and a nice tall glass of apple cider. It tastes good all year round but during fall, it is even better.

6. Carving Pumpkins

Pumpkins never come out the way you wanted them to but hey, you tried right! It's simple fun to just crave some pumpkins and throw seeds at your family in October.

7. Hockey Season

Finally, it is here. The first games of hockey season are happenng and it is finally starting to feel like fall to those hardcore hockey fans.

8. Halloween

Fun as an adult and child. Dressing up as whatever you want for a night without getting judged? Yes please!

9. Thankgiving

We wait all year to sit down around a table of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatos and family. You feel like you have a food baby for the next 72 hours but it is all worth it because your twelfth serving tasted good.

10. Family Parties

It is the biggest season for family with 2 holidays and thanksgiving being the big family holiday. It is your first break off from school and work and you finally get to see family from far away, what's not to love about fall!

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.
