It's the most wonderful time of the year! It truly is. Thanksgiving is in a couple of days, college football is beginning to make predictions about a championship, Christmas songs are starting to make their way out of the shadows and, well, Christmas decorations have already been out since September, so that's no surprise.

This is the time of year when we should all be thankful for what we have. We should be thankful for our friends and family because they bring us so much joy to our lives. They are always there when we need them and are always our No. 1 supporters!

The life that we were given should also be another thing we should be thankful for. We should not take our life for granted because I bet that we are all living in pretty high standards compared to other people from around the world.

We should be thankful that we have Christmas decorations and music. We all know that we can get a little annoyed with them by the time Christmas is finally here, but people from around the world do not experience the same thing as we do. Some might not even know what Christmas is.

Our holiday spirit should be bouncing off the walls. It's finally the time of year where snow falls and people are happy all the time and we can all give thanks and be happy with one another. This is a special time of year because it brings out the best in people, which is a great thing to see.

This holiday season, make sure that you are making the best out of it and make sure that you are spreading the holiday cheer to every single person that you come into contact with.

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.
