A Letter To "Swagmail from EmmaD"

I just want you to know that I love you so much and your friendship means more to me than I can even describe. We have known each other for nine years now and you became my best friend from one of the first moments that we met. You have been there through all the ups and the downs, the super late nights, and really early mornings. You let me shop through your closet when I needed something to complete my outfit. We jammed out to music together, especially One Direction, and we went to concerts together. Truly, you were always there, and girl, I cannot thank you enough.

I remember when we agreed to tell each other which colleges we were going to our senior year of high school, and I also remember how excited we were that we happened to decide to go to the same college. We made so many plans together. We were going to go to every football and men's basketball game together, hammock, and workout together. Eat every meal that we could, text and call each other all of the time. We were going to do everything together like we did in high school just in college, and yet, our relationship could not be more different now.

We barely talk. You send me a picture on Snapchat everyday just to keep our streak alive. We don't hammock or go out to dinner anymore, heck I feel like I am lucky if I see you on campus once a month, but I want to let you know that I still think about you all the time and I hope that you are okay. A One Direction song will come on every once in a while, and it immediately brings me back to their concert that we went to, or that one time you tripped in my basement and completely wiped out from dancing around too hard.

I would be lying if I didn't say that it has been hard knowing our friendship is not the same. It is hard not seeing you every day or feeling like I could talk to you because I know that you would always answer. It is especially hard knowing that we are from the same town but mostly live in the same city. We go to the same college, and yet, it is like we barely know each other now. It is hard for me to comprehend what happened and how we got here, and maybe the answer is just that we simply became busy.

I know that I am graduating a year early, and therefore, we are going to lose a year of going to school together, but I just want to let you know that no matter where we both end up, I am always going to love you like my adopted sister, and you are always going to be one of my best friends. No matter what time of the day it is, I will be here. If you want to shop through my closet, you can always help yourself. If you want to jam out to some more music or put on some old One Direction jams, I will clear my schedule. As hard as it is to accept and realized that our friendship has changed, I am excited to see what our future holds because I know that true friendship never really ends.

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.
