Who Doesn't Love Fall?
Kristen Haarstick

Everyone loves a good summer, but there comes a time when it must end. The temperature drops, the leaves fall, and the holiday festivities begin. Fall has to be one of my most favorite seasons of them all. What’s not to love about fall? Halloween, pumpkins, and my birthday happens to “fall” in fall too. (See what I did there). And so, because I love fall so much, I wanted to share some of my favorite things you must do this fall. First off, gather your friends, grab your camera and get your fall on.

1. Apple picking at a local orchard.


2. Carving a pumpkin.

Yeah, it will be messy but it’s all worth it in the end, especially if you roast the pumpkin seeds.

3. Take an artsy picture with the colorful leaves.

A picture of a leaf, a selfie in the leaves, or you can even take it to the next level and make a boomerang as you throw the leaves in the air.

4. Cozy up in your favorite blanket and watch a scary movie with your friends.

If you need any ideas, the second season of Scream Queens is coming out soon and I would definitely recommend it.

5. Go to a Halloween themed party.

It might not have been a “cool” thing to dress up in a costume in middle school or high school, but it will definitely be worth it. It's fun to go out but be safe too.


6. Go get your favorite fall boots and vest out.

7. Hayrides.

8. Go to a local fair.

The foods is always good at the fair.

9. Haunted houses.

This is one that you will want to bring your friends to. It's always fun to get a little scared.

10. Go to your school's football game.

Get your spirit on! It doesn’t have to just be football, but football tends to be a fun fall sport to attend. Get dressed up in your school colors and go support your fellow classmates.

11. Go on a hike in the crisp fall air.

Sometimes you need to put down the books and take a walk through the leaves. It's fun to hear them crunch, and its always a good thing to bring your dog too.


12. Build a Bonfire.

Smore’s. Smore’s. Smore’s. Who doesn’t love cozying up next to a warm fire on a cool fall night?

13. Watch your favorite Halloween movie.

"Casper", "Halloween Town", "Hocus Pocus"-- all a must for a movie night.

14. Apple Pie.

Home made or not, apple pie is a must. If that doesn’t work you can always go with pumpkin bread too.

15. Apple Cider.

Going off of the apple pie, apple cider is another great drink for the fall season.

16.


16. Decorate for the season.

Hang up some leaves, spider webs, or candles (fake ones give off the same effect if your in a dorm.) It gets you even more into the fall spirit and is fun to make too.

17. Jump into a pile of leaves.

Another great opportunity for an Instagram.


18. Thanksgiving Dinner.

One of the best meals of the year. Make sure you don’t miss it.

19. Go through a corn maze.

Don’t get lost though.

20. Hang out with your friends.

Fall is a great season, especially if you make it fun.

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.
