An Open Letter To Jennifer Lawrence

"I'm a big believer in accepting yourself and not really worring about it." -- Jennifer Lawrence

Dear Jennifer,

Can I call you Jen? Okay, great.

Jen, you are someone who I would greatly consider being best friends with on any given day and yes, I know that's what every other person on the planet says but honestly, it's the truth. Every single time you do press and you hold nothing back which makes you that much better. I prefer people to be more open, honest and have a great sense of humor, especially if they end up having to make fun of themselves. Like who else does that all time (minus a few comedians here and there)?!

You're the kind of person I would rather spend a Friday night in with, jamming to some Adele, watching a marathon of ALL the Housewives while indulging in comfort food while our dogs chill. I mean, we're both 20-something grannies, so can we please do this sometime?

You gave a quote in the September 2013 issue of Vogue which I think many of young Hollywood can relate to and even those in the industry after x-amount of films/projects now will agree on and as a female, college student and public relations major, I find truth in it. To quote you, "I'm still getting used to everything. It makes me a little emotional to see how quickly everything changes -- that it changes so fast."

That fact that you are so open minded to speaking when it comes to issues (like the now Pres.-elect Trump, your hacking scandal and most importantly, being underpaid as a female actress in Hollywood in the now famous Lenny letter), is something we, not just as females, need but as a whole society. I think most of us are afraid of suffering the actions and consequences of speaking our mind so we play it safe and go along with what others say/do, but you stand against the grain and grit, hold your own and do it without apologies. That speaks louder to me rather than two people having a debate trying to one up each other in a contest of who is thinks who is better.

The things that you do keep personal and private, your love life for example and not using social media (with the exception of using Facebook page from time to time), is refreshing. A fair amount of the time social media pops up, it normally has something to do with someone feuding or some other negative story that makes us wonder how much colder can our world get so I applaud you for staying clear of it.

Thank you for helping building confidence in not only myself, but young females everywhere when it came to our looks. You give such empowerment when it comes to your body and with girls constantly striving to look like the girl(s) in the magazine, even those girls don't look like themselves, it has helped us become more accepting of our flaws.

Last, but not least, every single time you work a red carpet, I stand in awe. Aside from your contract with Dior, you always manage to pull of the most beautiful gowns that we all dream of wearing (The Dior skirt and sweater you wore for the Passengers photo call in Paris was breathtaking.) and the styles that most any 'everyday' girl could wear and I will admit to having serious hair envy you with that bob/lob that you have ever since growing your pixie cut out. I'd love to have a girls' day out and go on a shopping spree with you -- just let me know when, okay?

Much love (from your "future" friend),

Savannah.

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.
