Fall is upon us, and the giants will return soon. The new blood will see how things change. We still have yet to understand the purpose or motivation of these dull creatures. Regardless of their lack of intellect, they always procure some form of sustenance. Somehow, they have so much food, they place them in some sort of container, yet they never use them again. Our recognisance teams have been able to recover food from the containers, though we are still unable to recognise what the containers do for the giants, the food itself is unlike most other pieces of sustenance we've seen. The food knows no limit, even in winter.

My colleagues have come to recognise the giants as a blessing, for they ward away the Hellions. I had another one of the nightmares about the beasts. Their glowing eyes peered out from the darkness - fur slick with blood - and their claws... I struggle to move my paw in recollection of the monster. The giants may be dumb, but the Hellions fear them, so they must be formidable. The giants are spared the fear that comes from the spine shuttering meowing sound they make - truly a symphony for demons.

I fear my language in these last few entries lack coherence. I have not slept for two days. We have been waiting for our allies from the depths of the underground so that we may exchange resources. There are no trees in the underground, so they lack Heaven Fruit. However, in exchange, they scavenge other resources that we require. In exchange for God fruit, the Rattington tribe will give us the last piece for our God eye security system. Our engineers can use the cameras our scouting teams have set up for surveyors to keep track of the winged demons, hellions, and canines.

My heart dances to see my cousin - Craig Penderson - from The Great Underground. I envy him in his research for Rodent immortality. The Rat Race truly is formidable, but their necessities are too many. I pray to Ratatoskr he will find the answers.

I must rest now. Sleep looms over my witts, but I fear only nightmares of the Hellions await me.

May Ratatoskr help us all.

Sir Adrian Nuttington VII - Second Lieutenant of the Four Squirrel Battalion.

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.
