Whip out your Halloween decorations, your scented candles, and grab a PSL from Starbuck because fall is officially here! Fall seems to be everyone favorite seasons and I can't deny that I agree. Fall brings some many wonderful things like colder weather, football season and spooky vibes that people love. We see fall fashion at its peak and we get our beloved Starbucks drinks back.

As college students, we get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of school and make excuses for not fully enjoying all of the fall festivities that are offered. Yes, we do enjoy dressing up and going to parties Halloween weekend and enjoy the occasional (or frequent) PSL, but sometimes we don't have the time for other fun fall festivities.

Wondering what to add to your fall activities this season? Here are 14 things to enjoy during this fall season!

1. Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin picking and carving can be a great way to spend time with your roommates and friends on a nice cool Saturday afternoon!

2. Roast S'mores

This may be a unpopular opinion, but roasting s'mores is one of the best things to do when the weather gets cold in the fall.

3. Halloween Movie Night 

We can thank ABC Family aka Freeform for creating 31 Nights of Halloween and giving us all the spooky feels for movie nights. Also, Halloween movies are great to add to your movie list

4. Spooky-Themed Dinner Party

Grab a bunch of friends and throw yourself a spooky themed dinner party with costumes, games, food and drinks!

5. Throw a Fall Photoshoot

Do you have a photographer as a friend? Grab them and collaborate on a fall themed photoshoot that will make you and your friends have all the fall feels

6. Go Hiking

Weather in the fall is probably one of the main reason it's everyone's favorite season. Cooler weather causes people to want to be outside more often, so grab a friend or your boyfriend and go on a hike at your local park or a walk around campus.

7. Fall Beverages

Pumpkin Sice Latte. Need I say more? According to most, this is the best fall beverage a college student could ask for (although, I'm a hot chocolate girl myself).

8. Cozy Sweaters and Socks

Nothing says "fall" than a nice cozy sweater and your favorite pair of fall socks.

9. Bonfires

Bonfires are probably my favorite part of fall. Probably because they are related to s'mores, but they're great for sitting around with your friends having a great time.

10. Thanksgiving Break

Every college student loves hearing the word "break." It means we don't have to deal with school for more than a 2-day weekend. Thanksgiving break has one of my favorite breaks because, although it may be short, Thanksgiving dinner is always the best meal to go home to

11. Haunted Houses

Haunted Houses are the just amount of spooky everyone needs during fall. They make you scream and laugh all in one trip!

12. Baking Fall Festive Treats

Just another reason to grab your friends and hand out your decorated cooking or, if you're really fancy, an apple pie!

13. Fall Scented Candles

Scented candles are a MUST always, but the best smells come from the fall scented candles section at Bath and Body Works!

14. Apple Picking

I can't say I've ever been apple picking but this is a great fall date idea or a Saturday afternoon of fun with your friends!

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.
