An Open Letter To An Elementary School Crush
Logan Blount

Dear you (yeah, you)

It has been far too long since we have seen one another. I hope you are following your dreams, and working towards making a name for yourself just as I am. I still have the memories of us joking around and enjoying each other’s company, and I hope you still have them too.

I’ll admit that you were the person everyone told me I like, and I would deny it so fast. You were the person who everyone made fun of regarding liking one another, but neither of you (or just you) never owned up to your true feelings (mainly because you were too young in your parent’s eyes to have a significant other). I imagined life with you at such a young age, and hoped that you and I would be together within the next 10 years. The only thing that held us back was I did not want to ruin the relationship/friendship we already have with you. All I wanted from life with you was to allow us to get closer as the years went on.

Sometime I do not like to think that all hope is gone, and everything is lost. But sometimes you are farther away than I can even wrap my mind around. Seriously you were beyond important to me and I just want you to be aware of this

All of the hope you built up is completely shattered from caring so much about what could happen between you two in the future. Once you left it’s like the world becomes a much different place without your partner in crime. I have come to the realization that you could be happier without me (maybe, probably not) but mainly because I was not the only one you left behind. Some days I would do anything to stop you from leaving who we were because I know we could have fallen in love. After all this time we could have been an “it couple,” gone to prom together, and cheered on our favorite teams.

Maybe one day when our stars cross we end up crossing paths (I don’t know, we’ll see).

Sincerely, the one you did not let get away

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.

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.
