Open Letter to My College Best Friend

I don't think I could ever explain to you how grateful I am, but it's worth a shot.

Dear college best friend,

You are unlike any other friend I have ever had. I met you in a room full of nasty, sweaty people that had drunk a few too many and it was a way past my normal sleeping hours. I was in a rare form that night because in high school I would never just walked up to someone and called them my spirit animal and if I ever did I would have never expected them to take me under their wing that night and introduce me to a bunch of girls I would never have imagined myself hanging out with.

Thank you for making my first college memory a great one and thank you for making my first semester of college one I will never forget! You have supported me from the first night I met you, the times I thought I could not pass a test or every Thursday night I did not know if I could make it from Phi Psi to some Delta Sig party, you were there.

Thank you for introducing me to your other half that slowly became one of the people I claim as one of the greatest friends I have ever had. Thank you for letting me in on all of the details of your relationship and for all the times you allowed me to third wheel every date night ever. You two gave me hope in times I most needed it.

From the countless nights that turned into mornings we may or may not remember, from the frat boys we have had to swear off, from the tears we have cried to each other, the shacker nights in your dorm, the doctor visits, and the game days we have shared with each other. I could not ask for someone better to be my best friend in these crazy times of my life; you are truly someone I could not imagine my life without so far.

No matter how far we travel and no matter how different we are you will always share some of my most precious times of my first semester with me and for that I am so thankful.

Love always.

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.
