Winter is my favorite season ever. I love the feeling of having my family around and the happiness that surrounds us. I love sledding and running in the snow and making snowmen. I love snow (not brown or yellow snow) and everything else that comes with winter!

Hot Chocolate

I love curling up on the couch under a fuzzy blanket and drinking hot chocolate. I love the little marshmallows and whipped cream sitting on the top of my favorite pig mug.

Snow

What isn’t awesome about snow! There’s snow ball fights, snow angels, snow men, and snow forts and it’s so pretty and white when it first falls. When snow falls, that means ski season is upon us!!

Ice Hockey

This is the season where I can watch as many hockey games as I want! I can play pick-up games on a frozen pond or just skate around with friends.

Christmas Movies

I love watching Christmas movies, especially National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and crying over the families being reunited.

Decorations

I love looking at all the lights covering houses in the neighborhoods and a blow up Santa on everyone’s lawns. The Christmas tree hanging with millions of ornaments and stockings hanging over the fireplace.

Christmas Tree

In my family we go to a Christmas tree farm to cut down the tree with the family and our dog. We take a while trying to find the perfect tree and when we finally find it, my dad chops it down and we drag it back to the car.

Food

Throughout the whole month of December, my mom buys us chocolate and an advent calendar. On Christmas day, my mom makes a ham and a bunch of other delicious sides. So basically I eat the best food of my life during this month.

Luckily we still have a few more months left of winter!!

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.
