To my nephew:

I feel like just yesterday I found out I was going to be an aunt, and I have only become more and more excited as time has gone on. You will be born any day now, and I wanted to write something to express how much love I already have for you.

It has been so amazing to see you grow bigger and bigger while your mommy has carried you. It seems like I just got to hear your heartbeat for the first time and we found out you were a boy. I have been so excited to feel you kick or feel you get the hiccups. I love talking to you inside your mommy's belly, even though you never kick for my voice. Also, I must admit I have played the "Park's and Rec" theme song for you probably more than I should have, and it is on record that you kicked for it. It has been the coolest things to watch a human grow. I'm so ready for you to be born, and I'm probably more impatient than your mom.

I promise to always be there for you and be the best aunt I can be. I'm going back to school soon, but I promise to always come home and see you and always make time for you. Your Aunt Ashley and I are constantly making plans and talking about all the stuff we want to do with you. I cannot wait to take you on adventures, spoil you rotten and make amazing memories together. I have so many things I want to teach you and do with you. I hope you always feel how much your aunts love you.

I cannot wait to see what kind of person you will become. I cannot wait to see what sports you will play, if you will do band like your aunts did or what all you will be interested in. So far, you are a very rowdy boy and it is so cool to see or feel you kick. I cannot wait to see how you will be once you are born.

I hope you always know how loved you are. I already think you are the most perfect baby, and there will never be a time I will not love you. Even as you grow older, I hope you know how much I love you, and I promise I will always be there for you. Whenever your mom gets annoying, your aunts will always be here.


Love,

Aunt Taylor

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.
