Who doesn't love Thanksgiving?! Personally, I love Thanksgiving like Kanye loves Kanye.... maybe even more! Below I listed 10 things you can start doing NOW that will help prepare you for the upcoming holiday feast:


1. Limit your daily food intake. You'll want to save as much room as you possibly can for all the Thanksgiving food you'll be enjoying!


2. Locate your alarm clock. While it may be tempting to sleep in, you'll regret sleeping through all the Thanksgiving parades that occur on Thanksgiving morning. Besides, they only happen once a year.



3. Brush up on your football skills. Thanksgiving and football go together like peanut butter and jelly. Learn the lingo so you're not completely lost during Thanksgiving conversations.



4. Accomplish something big..... like right now. To avoid any awkward/uncomfortable conversations with your family such as, "How are your grades?" or "Why are you still single?" accomplish something big so that you'll have something that'll divert these questions. Maybe you can save someone from a burning building or discover the cure for cancer.... just do something big enough to distract them from said questions!



5. Buy yourself a pair of pants with an elastic waistband. This way you can eat as much as you possibly can with optimum comfort.


6. Locate all of your Tupperware containers. Being a broke college kid who lacks cooking skills, Thanksgiving is practically the only real meal I eat all year long. Every year when I travel back home for the holiday, I always make sure to pack as much of my Tupperware containers as I can so that I can enjoy the leftovers when I return back to school and have actual options to eat other than Ramen.


7. Save your money. Two words: Black Friday.



8. Watch all of the "Friends" Thanksgiving Specials. Trust me, they'll help you get into the Thanksgiving spirit!


9. Volunteer. What better way to celebrate the season of giving than to give back to the community?! Volunteer opportunities are available everywhere!


10. Count your blessings. While it's easy to get caught up with all of the delicious Thanksgiving food, make sure you take time and give thanks for all that you're blessed with.

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"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.

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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

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.
