Dear you know who you are,

It's been a little over three years since that dreadful night. The night that was supposed to be a fun and unforgettable outing for one of my best friends. Because of you, it wasn't fun but it sure was unforgettable. She will never forget that night for the rest of her life. It will play over in her head many times through the years to come. That night you took something that didn't belong to you. That night, you raped her.

Sure, you say she was drunk and she consented but we both know that isn't true. If she had consented, then why did you have to leave bruises all over her body as if she was fighting back?

I've had a lot of time to think about what I would say to you if I ever saw you. Odds are, I won't ever see you. So I hope that one day when you're feeling good about yourself, you stumble upon this article and you remember. You remember what a monster you are.

Do you know that she had to go to the hospital? She had to get a rape kit done. Do you know that she flunked out of school because she didn't know how to deal with herself after that night? Somehow thinking that this was her fault. That she must have done something in order to make you do this to her. That's the worst part. Hearing her talk about how she believes that she's at fault for this. Because we both know that she's not.

You took my friend's comfort away. She will always have her guard up when meeting new guys. When she goes out, she will always be weary of new surroundings. You took a piece of her that night; physically and emotionally. A piece that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never fully get back.

I've never had so much hate for someone I've never even met before. But if I could send one person to the fiery depths of hell, it would be you. You don't deserve to go on with your life like nothing ever happened. But, I'm a strong believer in karma and I know that one day it will come back to haunt you.

You are an abomination to all human kind and I wish you zero happiness in the future.

-Your victim's best friend

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.
