To My Best Friend As We Start Our New Adventures In College
Abigail Shipley

After years of wishing we were done with school, the time has finally come. We're moving on in our lives and going our separate ways. As much as I wish we were continuing on at the same school, I know you'll do great things where you are and you're only a state away. This letter is basically everything I wanted to say to you when we said goodbye, but knew I couldn't or else I'd definitely turn into a puddle of tears.

Yes, this is about you.

Thank you for sticking by my side through everything over the past 15 years. Even if we don't see each other as much as we did before, I know that you'll always be there for me. Most importantly, thank you for never forgetting about me. I appreciate that more than you could ever know. While we have both been busy in our own lives, dealing with the stresses of work and school and a thousand other things, I have always been able to count on you to lessen the stress. A Snapchat or a remark about cow tipping is all it takes to put a smile on my face.

Your personality is one of a kind and I hope you're making new friends at school that love your laugh and quirks as much as I do. The funny thing is somehow your name always manages to pop up in conversations whether I'm relating a funny story back to you or someone asks about a friend back home. I'm still searching, but I know I won't be able to find anyone quite like you on campus.

People always say that you lose a lot of your high school friends once you go to college, but I know that I won't lose you. You've been by my side for too long and nothing can damage our friendship. Sure I'm going to miss our camping trips, pool parties, sleepovers, and breakfast dates, but I can't wait to see where we end up in our futures. Not many people can say that their elementary best friend still holds that title years later as they move to college, yet somehow I'm lucky enough to be able to do so. Thank you for being the greatest friend a girl could ever ask for and for supporting me in everything I do. First Watch date when we come home for break?

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.
