A Breakup Letter To Mother Nature

I just don't like who you've become.

A Breakup Letter To Mother Nature

Dear Mother Nature,

I think you are currently in a confused state. I think maybe you are looking at your calendar backwards, and I need to discuss this with you. Let's start with the basics. Snow comes in the winter, not the spring. When you mix this basic fact up, that is when you become hated, and because of this, I think we need to break up. I would say that it's not you, it's me... but that wouldn't be true. It really is you. You're unreliable and happiness is unachievable with you.

I won't lie, we have some great memories. This winter was different, and that was when our relationship really blossomed. Thank you for keeping the snow to a minimum. As much as us college students love our snow days, we appreciated not having to walk to class in negative degree weather this school year. You were really on a streak there for a while and became a crowd favorite among my friends... I think some of them were even jealous of our relationship.

Thank you for letting me transition from my parka and bean boots to dresses quite quickly. February is when it became serous. You were my one true love. I had never had such a great relationship before and I think that is why I was so naive. Some people may say that global warming has something to do with this, but I know you just wanted to please me.

These happy times didn't last long though. I'm not sure what exactly caused it, but our rocky times started back in March. Yes, I still loved you, but you really started scaring me with you indecisive and unpromising ways. When you went from 70 to 40 real quick is when I knew you were going over the edge. Your behavior began to make me physically sick at times, and that's when I knew enough was enough.

April is when I knew you were off your rocker. April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, but it's starting to look like I won't get either of these things. All you have to offer these days is snow, and I just can't handle that negativity in my life. Spring is not a time for winter jackets, but for some reason, you can't seem to understand this concept. I'm not the only one that sees your terrifying side anymore, and that's why I need to end this thing we have.

I know there is good in you, because I have seen it and I have loved it this year. But now you need help. When you're in a better place, call me. I won't wait forever, but for now, I'll be waiting. Thank you for some of the best few months of my life; I hope that someday, we can get back to that.

Sincerely, but without much love,

Everyone

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.
