Dear best friend, I wanted to take the time to show you just how much you mean to me.

When I first met you, I had heard many things around school and didn’t know exactly what to think. I heard that you were very rude and self centered, but then I got to know you. I got to know the beautiful, caring side of you. I grew to love you more and more with every day that passed, and a life without you seems impossible now. Through the short time of us knowing each other, we have shared many laughs, smiles, tears, hugs, and many amazing memories, along with more to come. So, I am writing this letter to you to thank you for all you’ve done for me and to show my appreciation.

Thank you for the late night video chats. Thank you for making countless trips to my house when I was crying because you couldn’t bare to see me as sad as I had been. Thank you for keeping all of the secrets I’ve shared with you. Thank you for being there for me when nobody else was. Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you for pushing me to do better things in life and make smarter choices. Thank you for showing me the good in people. And lastly, thank you for being such an amazing best friend.

You have always been there for me, whether I’d be crying over a boy or some cat video. You were there when everybody went against me and wouldn’t talk to me. You were there whenever things got rough. You were there when I didn’t want to live anymore. You were there through everything, and if it wasn’t for you, I’d still be a complete and utter mess.

I am so thankful for all the memories we’ve shared, from sneaking out to go get Taco Bell, to getting kicked out of Walmart. I am thankful for the nights where we would sit there and stuff our faces with junk food and share our life stories. I am thankful for the thousands of funny snapchat’s we’ve sent back and forth. I am thankful for all the “photo shoots” where we take a thousand selfies before taking the right one to post. I am thankful to have shared some of my best memories with the bestest friend.

You are such a beautiful human being and I love everything about you. I love how your nose crinkles when you laugh, or how you always stick your tongue out when people take pictures with you. How you have no problem standing up for what you believe in, and being able to tell people right from wrong without any hesitation. I love how you believe in yourself, and believe in others as well. I love how you never fail to make people laugh or smile. Lastly, I love you, and everything you were, are, and will be.

So I thank you again for listening to me rant about boys, letting me blast my crappy music, and dealing with my random outbursts. Thank you for supporting me no matter what decision I make, and thank you for introducing me to my second family. There’s nobody in this world that I’d ever want to call my best friend, besides you. Anybody who has you in their life is lucky, and I hope you know that. You have an amazing ability of brightening people's lives, mine included. I can’t wait to tell my future children about my best friend and all of the times we’ve shared. Without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, and I am forever grateful for that. So, thank you for being the bestest friend a girl could ask for, I love you with all of my heart.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

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.
