Dear Pi Beta Phi,

I’m going to be blunt with you.

41
Dear Pi Beta Phi,

I think you might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. 

That may come off as aggressive and a little too forward, but before you label me as a stage 5 clinger and run away, let me explain myself.

I guess it all started on bid day. You can’t even begin to imagine how overwhelmed I was. I ran out to 150 strangers that were screaming so high-pitched that I legitimately thought only dogs could hear them. It was over 100 degrees out and these girls that I had just met kept hugging me and exchanging sweat with me. It was repulsive. They knew everything about me, too. They knew my name, where I was from, and what I was like. It wasn’t creepy at all.

It took some getting used to, but to make a long story short, I eventually fell for you. There were so many warning signs that you were going to become such a huge part of my life, like when I got my big. I didn’t think I deserved someone so cool, outrageous, and fun. 

Then I got my little, and I got that same feeling all over again. I realized that I’d never find two better people to drink tequila and exchange embarrassing stories with. Now I’m gearing up for grandlittles and besides feeling old as sh**, I’m overwhelmed with excitement because I know they’re going to fit in perfectly.

You also gave me the best and most messed up group of friends I could possibly dream of having. They’re obnoxiously funny and completely outrageous. They support me no matter what bad decisions I make and I know that they will always be there for me (that might be because I have too many blackmail pictures of them and they’re scared that I will make those pictures go viral). I can always count on them to study with me, go to dinner with me, laugh with me, and if I had emotions I would probably cry with them too. 

Lastly, these past three years together have taught me some life lessons that I will remember forever. Sometimes good things do happen after midnight. Laying in bed in your towel wrap for three hours will solve some of your problems. Binge eating Toppers pizza with your sisters is not a bad way to end your night. These are just a few of the more appropriate life lessons that our relationship has taught me, which I am beyond grateful for. 

Keep in mind that prior to you, the longest relationship I’d been in was in the 8th grade when I “dated” a skater boy - and by dated, I mean that we talked on AIM for 4 hours a night. With that being said, this is all very new to me. 

So, here it is. It’s not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. 

Sincerely, 

Sofi

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
