An Open Letter to My Best Friends

To my best friends,

You know who you are.

I just want to say thank you.

You have been there through everything.

Thank you for the endless laughs, thank you for the sleepless nights where we talk about anything and everything, thank you for turning everything into a positive situation, thank you for loving me even in my hardest times, thank you for never leaving my side, thank you for participating in everything with me even when you believe it to be a bad idea, thank you for your constant support, thank you for your love and appreciation, and most of all, thank you for being you.

You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and without you I have no idea where I would be.

Best friends will come and go, but I know I got lucky when I found you. God really was looking down on me when he introduced us. He knew we would be forever friends and that we would end up really needing each other in our times of need.

I want you to know how much I appreciate you because I know I may not say it as much as I should.

I hope one day I can show you the friendship you show me consistently each and every day.

You need to know that you are so loved. You are so important. You mean so much to not only me, but to everyone else you come in contact with as well. You are an inspiration for what friendship means and a role model for how people should treat the ones they love. You have such an amazing heart and you constantly give and give without expecting anything in return.

Although sometimes we may go periods of time without seeing each other, I want you to never forget that I am always there for you. I will never let you down. If you call me at 2 a.m. just needing someone to talk to, I'm your girl. I can promise you that whenever you feel down or alone, I will be there.

I want you to know that you deserve everything in this world. You deserve to be so insanely happy in everything you do. You deserve to be treated with the utmost respect. You deserve to be loved even on your worst days. You deserve a helping hand in everything you do.

Basically, I want you to know how thankful I am for our friendship. It means the world to me and always will. Thank you for being my person, and thank you for being my number one supporter in everything I do. You rock, so keep being yourself.

XOXO,

Maddie

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.
