An Open Letter To My High School Girl Friends

How lucky am I to have found a group of girls that make saying goodbye so hard.

An Open Letter To My High School Girl Friends
Maggie Mae Sheehan

This letter may sound cliché and oversaid, but I mean every word of it. I honestly do not know where I would be without you girls. You brought me years of laughter and memories, and made living in Floral Park that much better. You have all been my support when I needed it, and managed to put a smile on my face with just one gesture.

When I think of home, I think of all of you. Every memory we have made will forever hold a special place in my heart. People can try and say they have a bond closer than ours, but that just isn’t true. Not many people can say they have a group chat with eleven of their friends and talk it in every second of every day. Being over 600 miles away from all of you has only made me realize more how much you all mean to me. When I think back to high school, I think back to all of our crazy adventures. From going to random towns to meet each others roommates, or going into Manhattan just to leave an hour later to make it back to a party, every second was worth it. You all hold such amazing qualities, and I am so proud to call all of you my best friends everyday. I never thought I would find a group of girls that could make me feel so complete. Whenever I am with you guys, I can be myself and not be ashamed or embarrassed of anything. I can turn to you girls for just about anything and know that you guys will make everything better. I can call any of you at any hour of the day and know that you will pick up in a heartbeat. Every minute shared with you all will forever be cherished. These next four years are going to fly by and before we know it we will all be right back in Floral Park together. Although we may be hundreds of miles apart, I truly am just one phone call away.

And If you are reading this and happen to come across one of these girls, please know this; you truly are the luckiest people in the world. I have never met a group of girls more loving and crazy than mine. Treat them like gold, be there for them always, and enjoy every second you have with them. It is rare to find people in this world that can make such a difference in your life, so when you find people that do, hold onto them forever.

I hope you all have the times of your lives these next four years. Stay true to yourselves and know that you have an amazing group of friends that will always love you for you. This wasn’t goodbye, just a see you later. Just know I’m counting down the days until I am reunited with all of you again. Have fun my crazy friends, love you all 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.
