I think we should see other people. It's not you, it's me.

You probably didn't see this coming and I'm sorry for walking out on you so suddenly, but it is time for me to move on. We had some great times together, and you were always there for me through everything. The good, the bad, and the horribly ugly (sorry about those ones, by the way. My judgment was impaired.)

You were the best support system I could have ever asked for--a shoulder to cry on, and someone I felt totally comfortable with. I never felt like I had to wear makeup or a bra in front of you.

We had something special, and I didn't want it to have to end, but I think we moved too fast for our own good. It wasn't long before you had seen me naked and heard all of my stories, and then what's the point?

It was fun for awhile, but you had to know it we didn't have a future.

You were holding me back, and I have to focus on what is best for me right now. To be honest, I think we were spending way too much time together. My attachment to you was keeping me from my friends, my family, and my future--things I just cannot afford to lose.

I have moved on to bigger and better things. My next bed will be full-sized, and you, let's face it, are just a lumpy twin disguised by a mattress pad and a body pillow. I don't know if I loved you, or just the way you looked and the way you made me feel.

I'm not worried about you. I know you'll find someone new who will treat you better and will love you more than I ever could. I will always save a place for you in my heart and I hope we can still be friends.

I wish you all the best, and I hope the next person doesn't give you an ugly comforter or bed bugs.

With love,

New Sophomore

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.
