THANK GOD Halloween is now over!! Don't get me wrong, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but by the end of Halloweekend, I was ready for it to be over. Here are some of the costumes I was sick of seeing by the end of college Halloweekend. Lack of originality seemed to be the theme of this year's Halloweekend. But hey, at least it's over! Now we can all look forward to Thanksgiving!

1. The Purge

Girls parading around in lingerie, heels, fake blood, and masks?! THIS one actually caught me by surprise. I definitely saw this one more than any other costume. Maybe because I can't stand people in masks, but this one was a bit scary to me. I was so over this entire costume Friday night before all the parties even started.

2. _____ out for Harambe

We all knew Harambe was going to be involved in Halloweekend somehow. The tits out for Harambe costume was almost as basic as the Purge and completely unoriginal.

3. Bunny

Wow, a leotard, some heels, and a pair of bunny heels. How unoriginal that all five of your friends and you are the same thing for Halloween. I was over college girls being Bunnies Friday night, three days before Halloween. By Monday I was ready to throw the next pair of ears I saw in the trash.

4. Angel/Devil

AW! So cute! Best friend costumes. NOT! Admittedly, I was more annoyed about the insta captions more than the actual costume. The not-trying-but-trying-too-hard caption that was just borderline too sexual captions really got on my nerves. This was almost as unoriginal as Bunny.

5. Harley Quinn

Alright, guys, even I fell into this trap. Yes, Harley was one of my costumes for Halloweekend. I knew that it would be basic, and I did it anyway. YET, it was not as popular as I thought it was going to be. I expected more girls to be dressed in the tiny sequined pants, with the blue and pink pigtails, yet I only saw maybe a total of 5 girls, all of Halloweekend. For being such an anticipated costume, this one was a bit of a letdown. But still, makes the cake for being one of the top 5 overrated Halloween costumes of 2016 because Harley Quinn was still one of the costumes that dominated Halloween overall.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
