An Open Letter To My Best Friend

You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Katelyn Kraus

Cheesy T-Swift song turned love note to boyfriend? Nope, this is a letter to the girl who has outlasted any boy in my life, my best friend.

We met in high school and I had other friends before you… Or so I thought, you understood me in ways nobody had before and provided me with a friendship which was so much more than just a friendship. It’s possible when we met I didn’t realize how important you would become to me, but four years of high school flew by and relationships and friendships faded, but never you. So, just in case you've forgot since the last time I told you, or just in case you need to hear it again…

Dear Best Friend,

I love you so much and owe so much to you, thank you for all you've ever done for me. I wouldn't be the person I am today without your influence. You have spent years with me and I have enjoyed all of our times together, the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Thank you for all the sleepovers, the endless pizza rolls, movie watching, sunsets, late night drives, picture taking, gossiping, and laughter filled Friday nights. If it weren’t for you I wouldn't know every lyric to Beyonce songs, so thank you for that too.

I also want to thank you for the constant acts of kindness you do for me. If it’s buying me a speedy freeze or sending me a nice text message/snapchat it’s those things that brighten my day. You don't have to do those things, but you do them because you are so caring and love me.

With you as my best friend I never went anywhere alone. You accompanied me in anything I had to do or didn't want to do and you never complained, because you know I’d do the same for you. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my weekends going out or vegging out and binge eating with anybody else.

You have seen me at my worst, thank you for never judging me, always holding my hand and showing me what to do. Thank you for picking up the pieces of my heart and helping me put it back together.

You bring me so much happiness and I hope there is never a day I go without you. Even though we're well into college now, and we don't see each other as much as we would like, I know you are only a phone call, text message, or FaceTime away if I need you. And no matter how many friends I make, they will never replace you. I know wherever my life takes me, you will always be a part of it. I wonder every day how I got so lucky to have you in my life. You are the epitome of a wonderful human being. I hope that everyone has the chance to have a best friend like mine. (But they can’t have mine, because you’re all mine)

Love always,

Your best friend (Kat^2)

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.
