Hooray, the fair is in town! There are rides, games, petting zoos, and more that await you beyond the gates, and it's a great time for you and your S/O and/or friends to bond and have the time of your lives.

But one thing is missing that makes the fair so great...and if you guessed "the food", you are absolutely right! What would the state fair be without glorious, unique, and downright ridiculous food?! Read on to see some fair foods you've tried before or need to try at least once*.

1. Fried Oreos.

One of my all-time favorite fair treats, deep-fried Oreos are the perfect mix of sweet and savory. It can be really easy to eat a bunch of these at once, which begs the question: why is it that the foods that are bad for you taste so good?!

2. Funnel Cakes.

I lied; THESE are my all-time favorite fair foods to eat. Honestly, HOW can you resist them?! Depending on where you go, they come in hundreds of different flavors and topping combinations.

3. Fried Pickles.

If you didn't know, now you know. Pickles can definitely be fried (but then again, they fry literally anything now), and you should definitely try them once if nothing else at the fair. It's got an interesting but oh-so-savory taste.

4. Corn Dogs.

Oh, come on, who hasn't tried corn dogs before?! You've probably had them during lunch at school, or maybe even at any other event that sells food. But eating a corn dog from the fair is a unique experience. Imagine eating one of these with the hustle and bustle of the rides in the background....

5. Turkey Legs.

So, I'm not a big fan of turkey. But that shouldn't stop you from trying one of these bad boys out! Plus, much like corn dogs, eating this seemingly-common food at the fair is a unique experience in itself.

6. Pineapple Bowls.

I could eat a million of these things if I wanted to. They are seriously SO good. Who'd have thought that sweet pineapple and savory meats and rice would go so well together? I didn't, but now that I've seen the light after trying this last year, my life is so much better because of it.

*WARNING: Fried foods are super high in fat and calories, so be careful and try not to eat too much!

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

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
