Thank you, football season.

Why Saturdays are Good Days
Personal

One of my favorite things to do is stay up really late on Friday nights, and then sleep until about 12:30 on Saturday. If you know me, you know that sleep is something I find almost holy. Sleeping in is something I don't get to do very often anymore, but when I do, it's the perfect way to start my Saturday. Then, after sleeping my morning away, Captain Crunch usually awaits me in the kitchen. The next few hours after getting out of bed are always slow. If I'm at my mom's, I sit outside on the back porch, talking to her. If I'm at my dad's, I'm snuggled up on the couch, watching some boy show that my brother refuses to change. Sometimes, I'll walk out on the farm that my family has, and I'll play with the many dogs we have, or I'll even try and ride one of the horses. Saturdays are good for collecting myself after a long week. They are gentle and allow me a nap, if my heart desires it. Even though I love UAH, and I love my friends that keep my sane throughout the week, there is nothing like going home and just having a normal Saturday.

Saturdays are also great for catching up on homework. I usually set a reasonable goal for my studies. Ya know, read ten pages from my Anatomy book, and look over the notes from Psychology. It's never anything too heavy. Of course I never complete the light load that I gave myself. But, isn't it nice to have a goal for the day? I remember when Saturdays were all about Soccer. I would come in, sweaty, my muscles aching, and completely exhausted. I actually miss those Saturdays.

Now that fall is upon us, Saturdays also mean something very important. Football season makes every Saturday like a holiday in my family. Saturday nights are filled with homemade cheese dip, Alabama football, and bonfires for after the game. Saturdays are good to help me relax. School work, sorority responsibilities, and stress get to me. But Saturdays are good for my soul.

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
