To my big sister,

Although we are complete opposites and almost never see eye-to-eye on things, I will always look up to you. I will always be jealous of your strong will power and self-determination. You’re loyalty to the things and the people you love is something I appreciate and I know others do too, more than any of us could explain.

You are my first and favorite friend. No matter the situation, you are always there for me. You tell me how it is, whether I am going to like it or not. Whenever I am down, you always know what to say. When I can’t tell mom about my boy drama or drunken nights, you always are there to listen and give me the “mom advice” without having to actually tell mom.

As much as I hate to admit it, I know I’m the “bad kid” and you’re the “good kid”. I strive to be like you in every way possible. You are a full-time student, full-time employee, and a full-time mom. I don’t know how you do it. I am just a student and you still beat me at that. You are such an inspiration to me. I am so proud of you in every way possible and even more proud that you are MY big sis. And even though you do all these things and succeed, you still brag about me and boost my confidence. You make me feel like the coolest sister in the world, but that’s you.

I don’t know what I would do without you sis. Thank you for everything you do for me, our family. I am incredibly blessed to have a sister like you and I wouldn’t trade you for the world—even if we did get to pick our family. Love you mean it, Sis.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
