There are so many Halloween songs that GO OFF! Here are a few personal favorites and iconic tunes.

1. "Lose Your Soul" by Dead Man's Bones

You might not know this, but heartthrob Ryan Gosling was in a band that only released one album. The self-titled album included strictly Halloween bangers, including this one. Lose your Soul exudes some good vibes for your Halloween gathering... Anything with Ryan Gosling involved exudes good vibes!

2. "Teenage Witch" by Suzy Wu

This song bangs year round, but it's especially fun during these days leading up to Halloween. The lyrics are reminiscent of a spell you'd cast on an ex-boyfriend or a toxic friend. Thank you for this witchy masterpiece, Suzy Wu!

3. "Heads Will Roll" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

If you go to a party this Halloweekend and they don't play this song.... leave..... just LEAVE.

4. "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" by David Bowie

Not only is this a great Halloween song, but David Bowie is a great Halloween costume idea. Come through Ziggy Stardust!

5. "Burn The Witch" by Queens of the Stone Age

Basically if "The Crucible" was a song.

6. "Redbone" by Childish Gambino

I mean... technically not a "Halloween Song" but, it's my list and I say that Redbone belongs on this list. When Donald Glover sang "They gon' find you, gonna catch you creepin'"? I felt that. This song just feels like one of those posts your friends would send you that you had to repost or else a little dead girl would appear on the foot of your bed.

7. "Mirage" by Alexandra Savior

I am convinced Alexandra Savior is a WITCH. I mean witch in the most endearing way. She's like if Lana Del Rey drank a spooky potion or something like that.

8. "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac

Isn't this the song that plays in the woods as witches dance around a fire?

9. "Night Song" by The Lemon Twigs

The brother duo, The Lemon Twigs created a masterpiece. Now it is our duty to spread this song around like the frickin' plague!

10. "I'm a Hex Girl" by The Hex Girls

Can we all agree that the Hex Girls are the best fictional female witch band ever?

11. "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals

Just an important halloween staple. That is all.

12. "Yes, I'm a Witch" by Yoko Ono

If Yoko Ono's a witch, then I'm a witch.

13. "Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads

"Psycho Killer" is a perfect song. That is all. Thank you David Byrne, love you.

14. "Get Some" by Ghosted ft. Kamille

This song has nothing to do with Halloween and isn't scary sounding at all, but bear with me and just watch the music video. You will completely understand.

15. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

Well.... DUH!

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.
