Top Five Winter Must Haves List
Myself

Tis' the season for your heat to be on, fireplaces, and hot cocoa.... Oh and don't forget your Christmas Decor! As the snow hits these next few days in Dayton (According to some weather apps anyway), I'm going to run through my top five favorite winter must haves with y'all so y'all can survive indoors this season!


1. A Lovely cup of Hot Cocoa...

I prefer the classic mix with marshmallows and then fluff, but just hot cocoa in general is always number one on the list of must haves. Make sure to use your favorite mug too! (tumblr_static_tumblr_static_99z9o8pnu144s0cs8kc44s0ss_640.jpg)


2. Blankets...


I don't know about y'all, but blankets are probably the best invention since Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets! They're so cozy and easy to take anywhere.


3. Movies... Lots & Lots of Movies!

Rather it's to be found on Netflix or demand, or even your movie shelf, movies are the best way to by pass your free time. Some good new to DVD's currently are The Secret Life of Pets & Finding Dory. Other ideas especially considering Christmas to be like 13 DAYS away, would be Netflixing Christmas Favorites.... You never know when you'll enjoy one of those.


4. Surprisingly, books....

As much as someone who just became free from finals from school, books are actually a good idea to add to the list. Books can go well with your mug of Hot Cocoa, and your cozy blankets as well! What a fantastic combo!


5. STARBUCKS!!!!!!

As usual as it is to see Starbucks everywhere now, this really is in my top five.Starbucks has the best and I mean the BEST Peppermint Mocha Fraps ever in my opinion. Of course that's just my opinion..... However Starbucks did make my list and considering they serve Hot Cocoa, it's a win-win kinda deal here.


So here it is, my top five winter list of pastime items. Decorating with Christmas decorations was my number six but other than that, I hope y'all enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

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.
