The leaves are changing, iced lattes turn warm, and tank tops are put away in exchange for turtlenecks! Fall is the best time of the year in Midwest and I'll tell you why!

1. The Scenery, of course!

Everywhere you are: driving, walking, or jogging, the streets, and the trails are filled the beautifully colored brown, red, and purple colored leaves! It is beautiful walking to class or driving home!

2. Corn Maze's Galore!

Corn maze's in all different designs and all levels of difficulties. Perfect for a date night or feeling like an idiot lost in the corn!

3. FASHION!

Whether your a girl choosing between which scarf to wear or a boy putting on your favorite hoodie. We can all agree that fall fashion is the cutest and comfiest time of the year!

4. Sports Sports SPORTS!

Baseball playoffs, football, and hockey season starting! Time to show some Chicago love and root on our favorite teams!

5. Cubs are playing in October?!?!?

Speaking of sports...THE CUBS? Only a few more wins left to finally break the "billy goat curse!!" So, go cubs go!

6. The Chilly Weather.

A beautiful sunny day, no clouds, and the nice crisp air is something Illinois-ain's will never take for granted!

7. Drinking hot drinks again!

Okay everyone, iced coffee and latte's were good while it lasted but I missed the taste and experience of hot chocolate without sweating!!!!

8. Let's gather around the Bonfire!

Weekends hanging out late around the pool or at the beach transition to nights around a bonfire snuggled in a blanket, roasting smores, and storytelling.

I think it is safe to say that, fall your arrival was long overdue!

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?

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.
