11 Reasons Why Fall Sucks

It's not actually the best season out there

I have never understood everyone's obsession with fall. I understand that finally getting to wear flannels again and pumpkin spice everything may be great, but there are a lot of things that pertain to fall that in my opinion, do not make it the greatest season of them all.


1. The weather.

Can somebody please explain to me what's so great about waking up in 30-degree weather and going to class in a sweater, but then sweating your butt off as soon as you get out of class because it's now 70 degrees?


2. Also the wind.

Not only does it make the real feel way colder than the actual temperature, but strong enough gusts ensure that the hair your spent an hour curling will look like a hot mess by the time you get to where you are going.


3. Chapped lips.

Because no matter how much Chapstick you apply, your lips always seem to be cracked.


4. Ugly trees.

Once all of the pretty leaves fall off, all that is left is bare branches that all seem to be the same shade of gray.


5. Bagging leaves.

The leaves on the ground may be Instagram perfect, but at some point you have to rake them all together and bag them for multiple afternoons so that they do not kill your grass.


6. Nosebleeds.

Nothing says winter is around the corner like constant nosebleeds occurring as the temperature and amount of moisture in the air changes.


7. School starts.

The start of fall means the death of summer, which also means having to go back to school.


8. Pumpkin everything.

When everything tastes like pumpkins, by the time pumpkins actually come out you're already tired of them.


9. Shorter days.

The sun starts to go down a lot sooner, tricking you into thinking its later than it actually is and leaving you with less daylight to do things outdoor.


10. Halloween stress.

No matter how much time you spent thinking of what costume you are going to wear, after Halloween passes and you look back on the pictures you think to yourself "why didn't I think of something better".


11. Black Friday.

It's all fun and games until you have to work it.


So congratulations. Summer is dead and winter is around the corner. Better get to reorganizing your closet.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
