To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

You're pretty cool, I guess.

To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

Dear Big Brother,

You are the biggest peasant I've ever had to deal with in my whole entire life. But you're my peasant and I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world – I guess. We may not have always been the best of friends, but now that we're older, I'm glad you have realized how cool and awesome your little sister is. I know you enjoy having me in your life not only as a sister but also as a friend. Growing up with you may not have been the easiest, but it sure has taught me some lessons.

Thanks for practicing all of those wrestling moves on me. You know, like the choke slam, or that elbow thing. I'm not even going to talk about how you made up your own move trying to absorb me. But as a result of that, I'm pretty tough now. If any boy ever tries to but his hands on me, I don't think he'll be prepared for what I'm going to do to him. I guess I have you to thank for that.

Thanks for never letting me win in any video games we played. Even if I begged, pleaded, you still didn't let me win. Remember that one time when you wanted to show how much better you were than me in Super Smash Bros Melee that you left the room with the wireless control and you were still somehow able to beat me? Good times....for you. But if I'm being honest, you are the best and by playing the best and constantly losing, you eventually get better. So I guess I got better (years later) because I can beat you in smash now – in yo face. While we're on the topic of games, though, thanks for letting me copy you and play all the games you played (but if I remember correctly you hated that I copied you so much). But since I did copy you so much I was able to know about games like Smash, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong countries 1-3 for SNES. Who would've known that the friends I've made in college play or like most of those games too. I actually became friends with them by playing Super Smash Brothers.

And then there were my guinea pigs. Thanks for....well yeah there's no lesson to be learned from that story moving on.....

Not only have I learned a lot from you big peasant brother, but we've also had a lot of fun times together. Like Christmas shopping together every year (even though we always ended up fighting). Or all of our car rides together aka Z time, my favorite time. But then there was that one car ride we had together that I'm pretty sure you and I are never going to forget. Good times. We also go to movies and dinner together. Or to amusement parks and ride all of the rollercoasters. We watch old episodes of Spongebob together and laugh at the same parts every time. I wonder where our relationship would be without Spongebob honestly....

I can't say that we've gone to concerts together because you're a peasant and didn't want to go to the Drake and Future concert with me....but who needs to see them when I have an older brother who can spit rhymes just as good (did I say that right? Let's pretend I did).

So I guess what I am trying to say, is that you're a pretty awesome, and I am lucky to have you as a big brother. I love 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.
