Dear First Apartment, Please Be Good To Me
Alex Todd

Dear First Apartment,

First off I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for being my first big girl home. Thank you for providing me shelter and welcoming me with open arms. You are my sanctuary the the place I retreat too after long days at school. The place I get to call my own.

That being said, please be good to me. I will let you in on a secret, I don't know what I am doing. I am learning how to be an adult every minute of every day so please take it easy on me. I ask that you take care of me and I will take care of you.

Teach me responsibility. I am learning how to care for myself while I care for a home. Teach me how to do both with class and dignity. Allow me the opportunity to try my best and learn something new along the way.

The memories I will make here are some I can't make anywhere else. From cooking my first meal, to spending my first night in my own room. I ask that you help me take snapshots of the best years of my life. Allow the memories I make here to carry on through my life. solidify friendships and build new relationships.

Lastly, Thank you. Thank you for giving me roommates who want to get to know me. Who encourage me to try new things. who want to see the best for me.

I don't know what this years holds, but I know it is going to be something special. With that I say let the good times roll and I'm so glad I have found a place I can call home.

Sincerely,

The girl who is trying her best to adult.

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?
