An Open Letter To My Bridesmaids

Dear Bridesmaids,

When I was a little girl, I tried to imagine what my future wedding would be like. I wondered who would stand beside me the day I say "I do." The day I got proposed to, I thought it would be the hardest decision to figure out who my bridesmaids would be. But, I was wrong. It was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Friends have come and gone, but each of you stayed by my side, loved and supported me when I needed it most. I want to thank each of you for being the best friends a girl could ask for.

To my college roommate,

You will always be my favorite roommate! I’ve never met someone so sweet and easy going in my life. Thank you for always listening and letting me vent. I loved our conversations that would last until 2 in the morning. How one of us would say “Okay, I do need to go to bed now,” and we’d talk for another hour. I miss you a lot. I miss our little tradition where we would take an online quiz every night before we went to sleep. I miss laughing so hard that we almost peed our pants. Unfortunately, we don't talk as much anymore. But, I’m so happy knowing that no matter where life takes us, I can call you one of my best friends.

To my college best friend,

Thank you for all the crazy adventures we had in college. You were the reason why college was so memorable for me. From our weekend trips to the mall, to cutting coupons for three hours straight, I can’t think of a memory that you are not in. Although we've transferred to different colleges, I’m so thankful for how close we’ve become. You are more than a friend, you are a sister to me.

To my hometown best friend,

Thank you for being you. I love how fierce, independent and sassy you are. You are the hardest worker I know and a friend to everyone you meet. I love being able to reminisce with you about high school and the people we used to know. Whenever I come home, I look forward to spending time with you because we have the best times together. You have such an old soul and wisdom beyond your years. You are my role model and everything I hope to be someday.

To my best friend since birth,

I feel so blessed to have you in my life. As we've gotten older, we've grown and matured together. You've seen me at every stage in my life and accepted me. We always seem to pick up where we left off, no matter how long it has been since we've seen each other. I am so happy you were able to be my maid of honor at my wedding. Thank you for being my number one fan and having faith in me when I lost hope.

I love you girls, more than you'll ever know. I want nothing more than perfect lives for each one of you. As we get older, I can't wait to see where life takes us.

Sarah Jessica Parker once said, "They say nothing lasts forever. Dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."

I love you girls so much...

Love always,

Your best friend

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.
