An Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Goes To A Different School

We may be far apart, but you're still my best friend.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Goes To A Different School
Austyn Gorski

I miss you a lot, and I know you know it. Considering the fact that we always send each other the ugliest snapchats, the funniest texts and links to hilarious vines. It's weird because I have lived so close to you for my whole life, yet here we are as far apart as ever. I haven't seen you in months.

But wow are you still weird, and you haven't changed a bit. I can tell you the most random of things, and your response is still very much appreciated. I miss the car rides we have together while blaring Paramore and drinking RaceTrac slushies (we probably drank four of those a day during the summer). I miss binge watching “Harry Potter” with you, and spending New Year’s watching movies and eating everything in sight. I miss being on the field with you, and being able to lead a team by each other's side.

But now we're in college, and life is a lot different. I have made new friends that I know I will have forever, and I have made many great memories with them as well. Now before you get jealous and think you've been replaced I want to tell you the exact reason why this letter is to you.

You haven't been replaced, you are irreplaceable.

Our friendship didn't just happen so it could be ended when we went to college (I know that for a fact). Our friendship happened because I learned what true friendship was when I met you. I never had a best friend before you, and I remember telling you that in my basement while we were probably watching Harry Potter for the 100th time. You have been there when I got my first boyfriend, you were there when I needed to vent about a lot of unimportant things, and I know you'll always be there.

So even though we are many, many miles apart. You are still my best friend. And it has truly been an irreplaceable adventure to walk through so many years of life with you.

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.
