It's easy to sometimes forget all the things our moms do for us. Moms are always there for us, even when we're hours away.

  1. I’m glad I look like you.
  2. Thank God we’re the same size so I can “borrow” your clothes.
  3. And shoes.
  4. And anything else, honestly.
  5. Thank you for always listening to me ramble about my problems.
  6. And pretending like you know every single person I’m talking about.
  7. You have a great sense of style.
  8. So sorry not sorry that I’m constantly buying the exact same things as you.
  9. You’re one of the strongest people I know.
  10. You have a beautiful smile.
  11. Thank you for watching Grey’s Anatomy with me.
  12. And Gilmore Girls.
  13. And Gossip Girl.
  14. Honestly, you’re the Lorelai to my Rory.
  15. Thank you for always teaching me the importance of family.
  16. You’ve given me a great example of a perfect relationship by growing up and seeing you and dad together.
  17. I miss seeing you every day.
  18. But I’m glad you’re only a phone call away.
  19. My memories of us at the pool in the summer are some of my favorite.
  20. I’m thankful for you being a stay-at-home mom and allowing me to have these great memories.
  21. You’ve sacrificed so much for me and my brother.
  22. You’re my favorite person to get brunch with.
  23. And shop with.
  24. And do anything with, tbh.
  25. You’re definitely smarter than I’ll ever be (just ask UPenn!).
  26. You have quite an eye for decorating (with a little help from HGTV).
  27. I’ve never met someone with so many shoes as you.
  28. I admire your commitment to Diet Coke.
  29. Your hair is always on point (especially your tiny ponytail).
  30. I’ve never seen someone dance as much as you do to “Things We Lost in the Fire.”
  31. You are one extremely fast walker.
  32. You always have more plans than I do (boy do you stay busy).
  33. But you still always make time for me.
  34. I’ve never seen someone get so into grade school basketball.
  35. But have also never seen someone clap so hard at theatre events for their daughter who was in the chorus.
  36. I’m glad that I got my peppiness from you.
  37. And my style sense.
  38. And my out-going personality.
  39. And my looks (well, at least half of them, sorry dad).
  40. Even when we’re not entirely sure what “person” I want to be (yeah, sorry about all the major changes and indecision).
  41. You’re always there to remind me that one bad grade isn’t the end of the world.
  42. You always acknowledge that I’m doing my best.
  43. You’re my first call when I’m stressed.
  44. Or sad.
  45. Or happy.
  46. I trust you with everything.
  47. You’re my best friend.
  48. I’m so thankful you’re my mom.
  49. I love you.

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.
