19 Signs That Pumpkin Spice Has Gone Too Far
HuffingtonPost

Fall. The season where every girl get's made fun of for doing "basic fall activities." Since when is it okay to be teased for going to a pumpkin patch? Or to wear sweaters and boots while drinking a pumpkin spice latte? Which brings me to my next point: the pumpkin obsession. Personally, I have never been too obsessed with "pumpkin spice". One of my friends this year even said to me "I'm so surprised you don't love pumpkin spice, you're one of the most basic people I know." Oh. So then I tried it again and liked it, so yes, I will drink a pumpkin spice coffee if I absolutely have to. After accepting my "basicness," I started to realize how much unnecessary pumpkin spice items there are in the fall and it's getting to be a little too much. When you go to the grocery store in the fall, everywhere you turn is pumpkin spice this, pumpkin spice that.

1. Pumpkin Spice Hair

I saw an article about this the other day. Don't get me wrong, I think red hair is gorgeous, but if you dye your hair orange to be "fall trendy," I just think YOU won most basic award.

2. Pumpkin Spice Dog Food

What did your dog ever do to you?

3. Pumpkin Spice Vodka

Are you serious?

4. Pumpkin Spice Oreos

I don't trust anyone who doesn't prefer double stuffed over any other type of Oreo.

5. Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows

I haven't tried these, but maybe they have potential to be good in a s'more!

6. Pumpkin Spice English Muffins

Nothing like some artificially pumpkin flavored bread! But it's limited edition, so get it while it lasts!

7. Pumpkin Spice Pop Tarts

For your everyday sugary breakfast pumpkin needs!

8. Pumpkin Spice M&Ms

I'm running out of stuff to say about this. How do they even make this happen? Has anyone ever tried this before and does it REALLY taste like pumpkin? (The M&M's face really says it all.)

9. Pumpkin Spice Sausage

Sorry, vegetarians: you can't your pumpkin spice fix this way! Also WHO thought to make sausage pumpkin spice?

10. Pumpkin Spice Feminine Products

I am not sure if this is an internet joke or not, but I REALLY hope it's a joke.

11. Pumpkin Spice Cookies

You can't go wrong with cookies. Well, maybe sometimes, but I bet these aren't too bad.

12. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips

For all you healthy people who want to get some pumpkin in your life, just eat some kale chips!


13. Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Okay, I am a fan of this product because who wants to pay $4 for a PSL everyday? Not me!

14. Pumpkin Spice Gum

Interesting.....

15. Pumpkin Spice Yogurt

I bet this is actually pretty good, too.

16. Pumpkin Spice Hummus

Sorry, but I will not be trying this one out.

17. Pumpkin Spice Shampoo

Because who doesn't LOVE smelling like pumpkins?!

18. Pumpkin Spice Lotion

Again, why not smell like a pumpkin while drinking PSLs?

19. Last, but certainly not least: all hail the Pumpkin Spice Latte

The original. The best. The reason for all the madness.

Is it Christmas time yet?

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?
