13 Things I Need To Thank My Best Friend's Family For

We all have that one best friend who we’ve known for what seems like forever, and over the years we’ve grown to know not only them but their entire family. They are the family who has helped shape your life in more ways than one and are always there for you no matter what. His or her parents become your second parents, and his or her siblings become your extra siblings. And soon enough, you blend into their family like you were one of their own. You can’t imagine your life without them apart of it and are thankful for them every single day. Although there are countless things I wish I could thank my best friend’s family for, here are 13.

1. Thank you for making me feel like apart of the family as your extra child.

2. Thank you for letting me tag along on countless family vacations.

3. Thank you for buying me a cake on my birthday and surprising me at your house.

4. Thank you for encouraging me to attend my dream university.

5. Thank you for putting up with me during my awkward stage, because we know those were a rough few years.

6. Thank you for taking us places before we learned how to drive.

7. Thank you for adding an extra plate at dinner because you already knew I was staying.

8. Thank you for all the sleepovers topped with donuts in the morning.

9. Thank you for letting me have a key to your house, even if you didn’t know my best friend has given it to me.

10. Thank you for all the memories, some of the best are spent with you.

11. Thank you for inspiring me everyday; you’re some of the most gracious people I know.

12. Thank you for being there for me when life seemed hard.

13. Thank you for giving me the best friend I could have ever asked for.

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.

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.

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.
