Look, I'm all for holiday music. In fact, I would have been perfectly content listening to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" soundtrack on repeat for all of October. I appreciate holidays when it's time to celebrate them, but what I've come to learn is that I can't stand people blaring their Christmas music starting back in August. So while we all enjoy our Thanksgivings here's five albums to tide you over until the actual Christmas season.

1. Taylor Swift - "1989"

"1989" is a solid, fun, and feel-good album. Plus you can't really go wrong with at least one Taylor Swift set.

2. Fall Out Boy - "Mania"

It took me about two seconds of starting this album to fall in love with it. It also helped that I saw them preform some of the songs before the full thing even came out.

3. Kacey Musgraves - "Golden Hour"

I'm not going to lie here - I think I know one song on this album. But my roommate told me to add it and he listens to it all the time so I'm taking his word and assuming it's good.

4. Janelle Monáe - "Dirty Computer"

Not only is the album itself a masterpiece, but it has it's own 48-minute, absolutely stunning, "Emotion Picture" - if you have some time to spare.

5. "Mamma Mia!" and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" Soundtracks

Honestly, I would recommend these soundtracks all year. But if you're really desperate to start belting out songs that most people know the words to they also work for this purpose.

Happy singing and happy almost Thanksgiving!

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.
