An Open Letter To My Squad

Thanks for always being there

An Open Letter To My Squad

Dear Squad,

Without your friendships I do not know what my life would have been like at college. Maybe we did not know each other forever let alone all four years but it feels like we have. You guys are the ones that I know I can always come to when I need a drunken night, a nice calm dinner, a shoulder to cry on, a good laugh and a judgement free zone.

The thing that makes us great is we can handle ourselves in any situation but it is sure nice to have you guys right there incase someone gets a little overboard. You guys are the dancing queens, and drinking machines in my life and thank god for that because I can not do it all on my own. Maybe people find us annoying because we really only go out with each other. And maybe people find us clingy, but we really all just get each other.

What is also great is we are not even close to being similar. Every group needs the mom, who makes sure everyone gets home safely. If you do not want to leave with a guy she is right there to pull you away and let the guy know he is no longer needed. Every squad needs that one friend who is always getting into awkward situations and does not know how they get there ever because usually they are the drunkest one. The friend who is always up for a good time no questions asked ever. The friend who you have to kind of push to get them out but once they do they bring the party with them.

We have stories to tell, some of those stories can't go untold. Our friendships are the most valuable to me. We all look forward to spending time together even if it is a movie night with no homework.

You guys are the first people I want to tell good news to. The first people to celebrate any event at any time with and to know that I am here at any given time for you. I know that no matter what, you guys will never judge me. You accept me for me even if I come off completely rude or a little dramatic about situations. Thanks for keeping everything pretty much drama free because none of us need that in our lives.

This is me saying thanks for everything. Thanks for always including me in basically everything, even if I couldn't come. Thanks for sending me snaps on a regular basis so I could keep up with your life. Thanks for making time to skype and text and just catching up with me and caring about me. I could not have done my first round of senior year without you four and I do not know what I am going to do for my last round without any of you. But I know you guys all are going to be doing great things in life and are some of the most intelligent, driven and hard working women I know and I am proud to call you guys my best friends.

Until next time,

I love you squad.

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.
