Dear Best Friend,

First off, I just want to say that I miss you terribly while you are away at college.

I don't say this enough, but I appreciate your friendship more than you know. There are not many people who I can share as much as I share with you...and not many people who I can be as weird with as I can be with you.

You are my first call when things are going crappy and my first text when things are going well. You are the best listener and one of the least judgmental people I have met in my eighteen years of life. You let me be weird, loud, and make bad jokes without many questions or objections.

You are my person and that is significant because you came into my life when I needed you most. You came into my life and made me trust someone again. You made me realize that I could have a best friend again right when I had started to believe that best friends were not a thing anymore. You helped me heal the hurt of previous friendships and that, to me, is something that I will be eternally thankful for.

You know about my darkness and that didn't scare you away. You never judged the mistakes I made. You didn't even change your opinion of me when we were driving down Randall Road one night and I told you that thing about me. Something that I didn't tell many people.

Sometimes you annoy me, sometimes you piss me off, but that comes with any friendship. I'm sure I annoy you all the time or piss you off more than you would like me to. I just have to say though that there is no one else I would rather be annoyed with. I don't deal with annoyance well, but with you it's okay because you're my best friend. There's more good with you than there could ever be bad and that is so encouraging to me.

Lastly, I just want to say that I love you with all my heart. You are truly a blessing to me, and I am grateful for all that you do for me. I know I can be dramatic, strong-headed, and hard to deal with, but I am so glad that you put up with my constant crap because not many would. I admire the heart that you have on your sleeve. You genuinely care about people and that is such a beautiful trait that you carry. It is also amazing to see how you grow with the Lord, it is evident in everything you say and do. I cannot wait to see how the Lord continues to shape and sculpt you over time. Good things are coming for you, I am sure of that. Okay, love. Come home soon.

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.
