To My Best Friends Who Went To A Different College
Hallie Walker

First off, thank you for being my best friends. Thank you for sticking by my side when I’ve done stupid things and not turning your backs on me. I’m forever grateful that y'all are in my life. Now that we have started this new part of our lives, it’s hard to imagine y'all not being there every day, but somehow we have done it. We have branched off and moved away from each other, and it’s still sad to me.

Even though we are five months into college, I still miss y'all every day. I miss seeing your faces every day. I miss hearing your voices -- not on the phone, but in person. I miss being able to drive five minutes to see y'all. I miss our late night adventures and shenanigans. I miss y'all. But as we grow older, this is something that must happen. A chapter of life ends so that a new one can begin.

We knew that when graduation hit, it would be the last time we would be together in that environment. It was bittersweet to say the least. Even though it was sad, I wouldn’t do it any other way. Y'all made my high school experience one I will definitely remember. Thank y'all for accepting me for who I am. Thank you for making me feel better when I was sad or just feeling low. Thank you for being there.

Now that we are in college, I’m still grateful that you guys are still there. We all may be hundreds of miles away from each other, but I can still count on y'all to be there. I know that I can still call or text, and y'all will always answer. As we go through this whole college thing without each other, I hope you guys find friends that you can be just as close with. I hope y'all can find someone that you can create memories with, just like y'all did with me.

It makes me sad to think that someone will be making new memories with y'all and I won’t be there. Yes, I am a little jealous of your new friends because they get to experience your awesomeness all over again. But this is life, and we must face it. I pray that you have a great college year. You make wonderful friends and wonderful memories. I just want y'all to know that I’m grateful for y'all and you will always be my best friends.

P.S. You better not forget about 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.
