An Open Letter to my Best Friend

I just want to say….

Thank you for everything you’ve endured with me so far. I know I can always count on you to be there for me when times get rough, and I know I can be stubborn at times. I sure as hell know I’m going to be there for you when times get rough.

I feel like I’ve known you for forever. It has only been a few years, and it’s a great feeling. I remember when we first met how awkward it was. Little did we know we’d become instant best friends, room together, and just be inseparable. No one will ever, EVER replace you. You’re my number one best friend.

No matter how hard life gets, or whatever life throws at us, I know we’re always going to be best friends. No matter the distance, and no matter how many guys, you will always be my number one. Nothing will ever change that. Let's not forget, I feel so welcomed at your house and by your family. It’s like I’m one of you guys. I really do feel like I am. Shout out to your parents for bringing a wonderful person into this world.

Words cannot express how proud I am of you. Just with all that you’ve accomplished so far in your short life. I know you’re going to do so much more. I’m so excited to see what you do next and what life has in store for you.

I wouldn’t give up our random conversations in the wee hours of the morning for the world. Just as long as I have you by my side, I’m good. I know everything’s going to be just fine because no one can ever stop us. We literally do almost everything together.

It’s so nice to see how much you broke out of your shell since we both met. I remember how quiet we were and how we wanted to be a part a group of friends. But luckily, we made our own group of friends that I’m happy we’re apart of. I’m so glad that we shied away from the other group. I’m so happy that we decided to room together when we found out about roommate switch week at school. That was probably one of the best decisions we have ever made. Other than going on adventures together.

Speaking of our adventures, I cannot wait to go on more once school starts again, and how much easier it’ll be. I know they’re going to be so much better than our previous ones. We’ll somehow make sure of it. We always do, right?

I know I can always count on you for things. No matter how small or no matter how big. This is what best friends are for. Just know I’m always going to be here for you, too. I’ll make time to make sure you’re okay and to make sure it won’t happen again. I’ll be there to get your ass back in gear when times get rough. Or just be a shoulder to cry on for however long you need it. You’re more than just a best friend, honestly. You’re my sister and nothing will ever change that. I love you, 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.
