A letter to the girl who always gets too attached.

Dear You,

I know exactly how you feel. You see a handsome man looking at you and then all of a sudden he wants to take you out. He doesn't want anything right now but would really like to get to know you better. Before you know it, you're hanging out all the time. Your mind is telling you that he must like you with all this time he wants to spend with you. The more time you seem to spend with him, the more attached you get. It is not your fault that you feel the way you do. God made you this way, and you're are perfect. I know guy won't understand and you will feel "unlikable," but you just haven't found the right guy to love you for who you are.

If this has happened to you multiple times and you can't seem to run away from it, don't. You're going to be okay. It is going to be okay. Try not to throw your heart out there so quickly. I know that is hard, but that's really all I can say. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You might get hurt a little more than other girls, but, it is going to be okay.

He is coming, I promise. It might not be right now. It might not be in your near future, but he is out there. He will find you and you will find him. One day you will look into somebody's eyes and tell just by the way that they look at you that you're all he has ever wanted. Someday just waking up to the love your life will be worth it. They say that the best things in life are worth waiting for. Maybe waiting for "him" is really all you can do. Some guy is going to come into your life and changing it forever. Maybe it will be love at first sight. Maybe it will be someone you will least expect. Maybe it will be the weird kid sitting next to you in one of your classes. You will no longer feel all alone and hate yourself for jumping too quickly. He may come in the least way expected in a totally perfect way. He will understand and love you even more for who are, with the flaws included. Your flaws may someday make him love you even more.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Totally Understands.

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.
