OPINION: With the colder months approaching, college students are feeling the desire to seek out romantic relationships that offer warmth and comfort — also known as ""cuffing season."" This phenomenon has shaped the notion that the holiday season should be another opportunity for single people to feel unhappy about their relationship status. However, the holidays are supposed to be spent with those you love, whether or not that involves a romantic partner.

The truth is that the colder months can be just as meaningful when you focus on yourself, your friendships and the love that already exists in your life.

OPINION: Whenever I find myself doubting my career path or feeling anxious about the future, I recall how unserious the world can be — after all, just look at the Oval Office. Observing Trump’s cabinet, most notably Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, I see unqualified people in positions of power, which reminds me that competence is rare. In turn, that pushes me to become someone who actually knows what they’re doing. And when the Trump news cycle itself becomes a cyclone of absurdity, I now channel that frustration into productivity.
