Dear College Friends

Man, what would I do without my crew.

Dear College Friends
Sierra Zinke

College Friends,

It is super weird to think that I am graduating this spring (literally seven months away what???) and more so that we have been friends for two full years (hopefully for many more too). I am writing you this letter because I there is so much to say and so little words to say it all especially being the only true senior.

You all have another year together to laugh, have fun and go to hockey games. And I know that I spend a lot of my time working and sometimes miss the fun but am so grateful to always have you there to make my smile.

When thinking about how we all met it is kind of ironic how a simple dating app can bring two people together, they become incredibly close and then you have a whole new group of friends. Those friends became my life home away from home. I know that's true for all of us (being that we all go to school in Maine and none of us are from Maine).

Thank you.

For the endless boats of support, through everything as small as academics, to as large as my car accident and even graduate school. Always telling me that everything is going to be okay and we will get through it. Always having my back when I need it.

Thank you.

For making me laugh when I want to cry. For forcing me to go have fun instead of sitting in my room and sulk or pretend to do homework. For going to the gym with me and making me feel better about myself. For making everything into dumb, fun little competitions for bragging rights and high fives.

Thank you.

Now senior year is approaching and it is both super exciting but also super sad knowing that I am graduating and moving (probs across the country - help.) and won't be around much to see you guys flourish and do amazing things in your final year(s) at Maine. Who is going to watch hockey or baseball with me? Who is going to make fun of me? Or give me the reality check I need every once in a while?

Everything is changing pretty drastically but we have seven months and you better know we are going to push those seven months as far as possible. But also know that no matter how far away I am - even though Oregon is really freaking far - I will always have your backs and am always just a phone call or facetime away.

Love you all lots, and thanks for making Maine home.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
