A Special Letter to My Internet Best Friend

To My Best Friend,


I started off social media thinking it was going to get me closer to meeting One Direction or Justin Bieber. Boy was I wrong. But, with me creating social media accounts, never did I think I would meet my best friends.

First of all, thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it for the better. I never thought I would meet my best friends through the internet. You're there for me when no one else is and listens to me when I have stupid shit to rant about. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world and meeting you was fate, in my opinion. I've always heard that the internet is full of toxic people, but you? Not even in the slightest. You are the most kind-hearted, caring person I know. Meeting you was an accident, coming together over a similar interest was something I never even knew was possible to happen.

I got the frequent, "What if they're not real?" "They could be fake", but I knew you were real. I'm glad I pushed all those negative comments out of my head and focused on the positives. From inside jokes, to hours of video chatting, I don't think I would trade anything.

My favorite memory was finally meeting you in person. If we're being honest, I was nervous as hell and thought you were going to think I was an annoying person and would just want me to hop on a plane back home. But, seeing you in person and being able to finally hug you was something that I will never take for granted. I don't think people truly understand the means behind an internet friendship if they haven't experienced one themselves. We would talk about meeting in person and when it finally happened, it literally was a dream come true.

I am forever grateful to have you in my life. I don't think I can imagine a life without you in it, you seriously have helped me grow into a better person, been there through some tough times, and I cannot thank you enough for caring about me and being there for me when I need someone the most. I know our friendship is something that'll last a lifetime, and I hope it does, because I seriously cannot picture a life without you in it.

Keep doing you. Keep shining. Keep being your beautiful self. You are perfect just the way you are.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend.

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.
