Tis The Season For Holiday DIY Projects
Crazy Frankenstein

December is officially here and in full swing which means let the decorating begin!! Christmas is such a great time to get together with family or friends with cups of hot chocolate and candy canes to make the cutest holiday decor for your home!!

1. Your Very Own Frosty the Snowman.

Start out by taking a sock and fill it about halfway with crumpled paper. Then take a rubber band and tie it off in the middle. Afterwards, continue to fill the rest of the sock and then once again tie off the top with a rubber band. Next, take some Sharpies to draw on the buttons, eyes, and smile!


2. Easy Christmas Tree Cutouts.

Using green colored paint cards from the hardware store, draw the outline of a Christmas tree and the cut them out. You can tape them on doors or hole punch the tops of them to string them together to make a hanging decoration!


3. Jamming With Your Rein(peers).

Need some great holiday music but don't know where to start? Spotify and Apple Music are great places to start! Even ask your friends what their favorite holiday tunes are and put together a playlist that includes everyones favorite Christmas tunes.


4. Christmas Cookies!

Let's be real. All anyone needs to bake cookies a pack of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix, icing, food coloring, and Christmas cookie cutters. Then there's the part of hiding all the cookies before you eat them all.


5. Gingerbread House Contests.

The best way to get into the Christmas spirit with friends is to have a good, old-fashioned fun ginger bread house contest. Local stores always have kits available and they make the perfect activity for all ages.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
