An Open Letter To Anyone With A Broken Heart


Dear Heartbroken,

I know everyday has only just been okay for you. I know each day does not get progressively better but instead wavers in degrees of pain. I know you are in pain, but for just this one time listen to your own advice, instead of always saying how you should follow your own advice because only you can truly heal your pain.

So, you got your heart broken not too long ago and somehow, he who broke your heart has already managed to move on. You are sad, perplexed, angry, depressed, and quite frankly just really emotional. How could, what had seemed to be a whole promised life ahead of you, turn out to be such a false sense of security? How are you ever going to move on from that point? Well, somehow, someway you will. Whether it be through gorging yourself on your favorite Ben & Jerry's, or avoiding any romantic films for long periods of time. Whatever you do, just please don't give up.

People say you end your first relationship in order to find who you'll really be with in your second. Some say, your second relationship is your last and yet some said your first could be your last too. Anyways, now is the time to be an optimist instead of the pessimist you always end up being.


This was a learning experience. You grew, you became attached, you found yourselves within each other, and you grew apart from each other. It's not necessarily the fact that you miss him, but the idea of him, is who you miss. You miss the late night cuddling and phone calls that last until sunrise and someone to steal a bite of your ice cream when you're not looking. You don't miss the waiting, the neglect, the feeling of being unwanted or the lack of being a priority. It's not that you miss him, it's that you miss being in a relationship in general.

Everything happens for a reason. Therefore you know that deep down inside, someday, somewhere, that you grew apart so you could find that one special person who makes you feel like you're the only two in the room. Who makes you feel like your worth it, even though you damn well think you're not. The person who does not care what you look like at three in the morning or even how much belly fat you have. A person who thinks your perfect. You will find him. It could take months, heck it could even take years. But you will find him and when you do, everything up until that moment will finally make sense.

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.
