Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Some say fall is their favorite time of the year. With the leaves slowly changing colors, and the weather slowly transitioning to sweatshirt or sweater weather. The time of the year where you can put the shorts away for good, and finally break out the jeans and sweaters.

It's the perfect time of the year, Where you don't have to worry about being too hot or too cold. It's the weather you can wear a sweatshirt and jeans, and be just fine.
While Fall is my favorite season, in the great state of Maryland, it seems as if the entire season of fall occurred over the course of 2 weeks.

It seems like only last week it was 90 degrees and boiling hot. I couldn't walk to class without not sweating. I wast trying to figure out if the air conditioning would be too cold in the buildings, and that was my biggest challenge. At least, weather wise, it was.

Now I wake up in the morning and I check my weather app and it says 40 degrees, and part of my mind is telling me to wear a coat, rather than just a sweatshirt. Where did our transition go? I feel like this weather change my have happened overnight.

Now, I may be from bitter cold New England, but going from 90 degrees one day to 45 in the morning two days later is quite a drastic change. Even a New Englander wouldn't be used to this weather change.

It may be the beginning of a stereotypical fall here. With the leaves are starting to change over this week, and I will enjoy every moment of it. From putting my hammock up in the middle of the quad and doing homework, to just enjoying my walks to and from class, I will love every moment. In the meantime, I'll be praying for the winter to fault and have it take it's sweet time getting here.

But knowing that in two weeks we will be heading into another drastic change in temperature is really killer.

But for now, I will watch the leaves change, and pray for some nice cool normal fall weather. And leave the jacket behind, at least for the next two weeks I will.

Happy Fall Maryland, Please stop raining.

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?
