Thank you for always being here for me.

A Letter To My Best Friends Near And Far
Letitia Hatch

I don't say this enough and I'm sorry that I don't. I want you to know that you have changed my life. You have made me into who I am today. You have been by my side through thick and thin. You have seen me cry. You have seen me laugh. You have seen me struggle, you have seen me soar.

You have impacted my life so much. From late night adventures, to hiking to waterfalls. From going camping to going shopping. You never failed to be my adventure buddy. You were always ready to go, never really stopped to question what we should do. We just went with the flow. We did what we wanted to do and we lived life with no regrets. We were carefree and young.

We were always inseparable. We would call and talk to each other or text each other almost every single day. We would never miss an important moment in that other persons life. Then college came and we drifted away from each other but I knew you would always still be by my side. No matter what happened because you were my best friend, and you still are to this very day. I couldn't imagine my life without you. Thankfully I haven't had to experience my life without you by my side giving me guidance and your love.

Sometimes I think back to the good times and start to really miss you. I wonder how you are doing. I wonder if you miss me. But I know the next time I see you, or the next time we talk, we will just pick up where we left off. It will be like no time has passed. We will just be right back to where we've always been. Best friends.

Sure we have had our ups and downs and sometimes we would fight. But that's what friends do. That's what happens when you love someone so much. You just want what is best for them. You want to see them achieve their dreams. You want to see them find love and happiness. You want to see them happy. You only want what is best for them. So sometimes it leads to fights and disagreements but the love never stops. You will always be there for them. I will always be there for you. Through every one of you heartaches, through every one of your tears, through every one of your doubts. Through every thing that happens, good or bad I will be there for you. That is my promise.

Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for all the times you have been there for me, thank you for all the future times you will be there for me. I promise you that no matter what happens in life, no matter how far the distance, I will ALWAYS be here for you. I will always be your cheerleader. I will always be rooting you on. I will always be your shoulder to cry on. I will always be your best friend and I will always love you. No matter the time or distance. I will always be there for you. I promise.

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.
