An Open Letter To My Best Friend's Husband

For as long as I can remember, she's always waited for you.

Dear Mr. Right For Her:

We’ve talked about you... a lot. Even since before we knew you existed — I’m talking back when high school crushes were breaking hearts and taking names, back when we spent countless hours during sleepovers talking about what we expected our future to be like, the biggest question of all being: what kind of person would we end up marrying?

Through late-night conversations, inside jokes, road trips, sports, tears, laughter, love, secrets, loss, graduations, and dreams, it’s always been you that she’s searched for: a man of his word, dignity, and caring... a man who is full of life. Then she found you. In every day of the 11 years that I’ve been blessed to have her as my best friend, I had never seen anything that made her nearly as happy as you have from day one, and I thank you for that.

I got to watch your relationship blossom into something that’s truly magical. I got to hear all sorts of stories of how much she loved you, how much she truly believed you are the one, and I got to witness the proposal, and I got to watch my best friend walk down the aisle to the man of her dreams.

Thank you for accepting me as the crazy best friend and thank you for growing to be a great friend to me as well, but most importantly: thank you for continuing to make my un-biological sister one of the happiest girls in the world. She has dreamed of you and I have heard about all of her plans with you for as long as I can remember — even before I knew you.

With lots of love for both of you,

Your Wife’s Sister From Another Mister

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"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.
