The last two weeks of the Fall 2016 semester are undoubtedly the hardest; final exams, final projects, last minute cramming in order to raise your semester grade in your hardest class are all things that take over your life! I decided that the last two weeks of the semester would be the perfect time to start a ten season long marathon of Friends. Isn’t that such a great idea? Avoiding any and all responsibilities, I embarked on the journey of a lifetime to a place where Central Perk is considered the center of the universe. I have only gotten through four seasons so far, but here are five things that Friends has taught me about friendship so far!

1. True friends will always be there for you when you need them most, regardless of how much you fight.

2. No matter how close you are with your friends, they will always have the ability to drive you crazy!

3. Friends will do whatever it takes to make you feel better when you're down.

4. Sometimes the people you never expect end up becoming the most important parts of your life...

5. ...while the people you expect to be a part of your life forever, aren't.

Friends, a show that started long before I was even born, still has the ability to teach all of us about the importance of friendship, along with all the different things that come with it. A show about love, heartbreak, redemption, forgiveness, laughter, memories, and most of all, friendship, Friends is a show that everyone should watch and learn from!

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?
