To The One Who Might Get Away

Let me tell you what you mean to me, even if you never see this...

You're one of my favorite people in this world. I have only known you a while, but I do know what feelings are. I have them for you and I have ever since we met. And I know that there is no way you haven't had them for me either.

I will sit around all day and wait on you to text me. I will change my outfit fifty million times before I leave because I know there is a chance that I am going to see you. I will take the same photo ten different times before I send it to you. It's an impulse. You're a disease that I don't mind being infected with.

We have been on a date. We have hung a few other times with our friends too. We talk and everyone else in the room becomes irrelevant. We secretly glance at each other at the same time and just smile. We can't even explain what we are other than probably just attracted to each other or "it's complicated."

You may not know exactly what you want right now, but I do. Because I have known what I wanted the moment I was faced with it. And I have been patient. And I have been heart broken one too many times. But here I am still. Waiting patiently for you to realize what you want too.

I could look at your blue eyes for the rest of my life if you'd let me. I don't think that you really realize how much I dream about 'us' or you in general. You say that you have been dreaming of me a lot lately, but if it was that often, how are you not going as insane like I am right now?

Do you remember the time you told me that I "just seem so amazing?" Or that you "wish you could come over to see me?" Because I do. I remember every conversation that we have ever had. Every heartbreaking one, silly one, angry one, and deep one. Words stay with a girl longer than you could ever imagine.

Chasing your approval may seem like too much, but I don't think that you realize that is what I am doing. Because how could a person be fine knowing that someone cares about them this much without doing anything about it? How could you willingly let me go on like this?

I have watched you with other girls. You don't talk to them like me. You don't look at them like me. And they don't want all of you like me. I want it all. The crazy personality that not many can understand. The looks that could be compared to a god. The voice deep and soothing like a southern lullaby. The jokes about my accent even though we grew up only thirty minutes from each other. All of it.

I am not one to be this pathetic honestly. You have known me long enough to know that. I've been known to cut someone off as soon as they do me wrong. But here I am still waiting. Waiting for something that may never happen. Someone who may never open their eyes to see me standing right in front of him.

Please open your eyes. Please notice my effort. Please quit making me beg for you, wait for you, and dwell on you. Don't be the one I have to say got away from me...

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.
