If you're a sane person living in Minnesota, you love fall more than any other season by far. And because you love fall so much, you probably want to make the most of it and do lots of awesome things this month, right? If so, these are some of the best things going on for the rest of the fall season for you to check out all over the Twin Cities. Try something new, branch out and get super cultured this fall! (Yes, of course you should still do all the typical fall stuff too, I'm not a crazy person.)


1. Go to a concert

There are tons of great shows all fall at a variety of great venues. No matter your music preferences, you'll definitely find a good concert to attend this fall. These are the lineups for Varsity, First Ave. and Mill City Nights.


2. Go to a literary event or book signing

Take it from an English major and book nerd, the Twin Cities literary scene is actually pretty tight. There are author readings and signings every day, all around the city. Also definitely worth checking out are the Twin Cities Book Festival (coming up this Saturday, Oct. 15!) and NerdCon: Stories (also this coming weekend). Take a weekend to be extra-literary.


3. Go to a play

There are always so many plays and shows going on around here. The Twin Cities has a ton of great theaters and a wide variety of shows playing at once. This fall, check out "Cinderella," "The Bluest Eye," "Legally Blonde," or one of these other great options. If these aren't your thing, look into a more unique experience at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater or the Minnesota Orchestra.


4. Find fun entertainment on or around campus

Aside from the obvious and popular sports and social activities, there are constantly new and inviting things going on around campus. Try going to a less attended sporting event for free or look into the upcoming schedule at Northrop. Pay attention to signs around campus or events on Facebook and go to all the free student activities while you still can.


5. Go to an art gallery or an artistic event

There are amazing-sounding art gallery events, art festivals and exhibit openings all the time. Seriously, there is no shortage of great art in this town. If you're not into spending hours at a museum, check out a smaller gallery and try to go during an opening or special event to get food and entertainment along with all the cool art! Here is a fairly comprehensive day-by-day listing of art activities in the area, and here's another similar list compiled by MPLS Art. Get cultured this fall!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
