To My Roommate,

First off: I am so excited that we are living together. We look alike (you may be my long-lost twin), we think alike (that shared love of coffee, country music, crocs, and coloring); we're a great pair, and I know it's going to be an amazing year for both of us. We've been texting for months, but - with the crazy that is freshmen orientation - haven't had too much time to talk face-to-face. So, I'll fill you in now - here's a list of a few things you might want to know.

1) I could sleep through a literal hurricane.

2) I'm a neat freak, so I hope you don't mind me straightening up your side of the room.

3) My go-to coffee order is a medium iced, black, with two sugars.

4) A cold room > a hot room.

5) I've already seen every episode of Grey's Anatomy, but we can watch it again. And again. And again.

6) I talk about my dogs 150% of the time.

7) Community service is a major part of my college experience.

8) You might need to push me out of my bed for 8am classes.

9) I'm very quiet, but I'm not shy.

10) Please borrow my clothes. I brought too many.

11) Remind me to call home once in a while, because I might forget to.

12) My favorite colors are purple and navy blue.

13) I'm so excited for campus events, and I hope you are too!

14) When I'm stressed out, I pace to clear my head (so don't mind me).

15) My favorite season is Christmas, and our dorm will be decked out.

16) I monogram basically everything I own.

17) I break my iPhone charger a lot, so I might need to borrow yours.

18) You are more than welcome* to come to family dinners at my grandma's house.

*expected

19) I love Mondays (and I'm not being sarcastic).

20) We will watch all the Disney movies.

21) I've lived in this community my whole life, so fee free to ask me for suggestions about what to do off-campus.

22) I'm always down for Dominoes.

23) We are getting a pet fish. End of story.

24) I love playing cards and board games!

25) I am always here for you. No matter what.

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. 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.
