It's almost Thanksgiving Break, and I'm feeling reflective. After spending a semester abroad, I see all the aspects of Nova that I didn't appreciate so much my first semester here. This is really my home away from home, and a lot of people and things have made that happen.

Keep reading to see all my favorite parts of campus that I'm grateful for.

*Note: this isn't all of it! It's just all that I'm thinking of at the moment.

1. "South-West" campus

This ones for my not one, not two, but THREE roommates in our lounge room out here in Delurey. We've made it our own little home. :)

2. The new bridge

This makes walking to the Spit for Friday night dinner or the KOP shuttle so much easier. Not to mention, I'm grateful for the awesome view of the church on the way back.

3. Easy going teachers

Thank you for not being angry at me for coming in late to my 8:30. Thank you for being funny, and thank you for not making my college life hard.

4. VSB Perks

Thank you Clay Center. Thank you Bartley Holy Grounds. Thank you Exchange staff. Thank you print center. Thank you business professors. We business kids really have the best support, and I appreciate it beyond words.

5. Hilarious Nova Insta accounts

This one's for you @justbartleythings and @soldmysoultothepit. These are hilarious, and if you don't follow them already, you definitely should.

6. Canceled classes from snow

This just happened, but thank you for not making me walk through the blizzard to my Diff Eq class all the way in Mendel on Thursday night.

7. Camp Co

How could anyone live without Camp Co?! Grateful for the classic 2am Friday nights here.

8. Holy Grounds

Thank you for the yum oatmeal. Thank you for making my dirty iced chai just the way I like.

9. Cova

Grateful for the burrito bowls and awesome pizza and the staff that gets it done after those 12:20 classes Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

10. Special Olympics

Nothing like a great fall weekend of volunteering to make my heart full.

11. Conn Grilled Cheese

Thank you for the soup and grilled cheese because they're unbelievably good.

12. Basketball 

Finally, how could I put this list together without Nova basketball?! Grateful for the amazing energy and pride that bball season brings to campus and so much more.

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.
