Dear Mom, I love you. You Will Always be my Rock

Heres for all the times I forgot to tell you how much you mean to me.

Dear Mom, I love you. You Will Always be my Rock
Alex Spadacenta

Dear Mom,

I really do appreciate all that you do.

I know it might not come off that way all the time. I know I probably drive you crazy always asking you for favors or to book my next appointment, and that we call you my "Personal Assistant," but in my mind it was always just for laughs. I know that I can annoy you with my million phone calls a day and constantly asking you for your opinion on silly topics, but it's mainly because I value your opinion more than most people.

Whenever I call you from college I'm probably walking from class to class or across campus, and you always ask me "what's up?" and every time I respond with "oh nothing, just walking." I call you when I just want to talk to someone, because I know you will always be there.

From black Friday shopping to watching Family Feud to simply laughing, I know that we will always have a relationship like no other. You give some of the best advice and always know what to do in difficult situations. You also can always find my belongings when I misplace them, so it's a real bummer you aren't here to help me find things (like my computer charger which I lose all the time) at school.

I miss your home cooking and the little notes you would leave me in my lunchbox. It was comforting to know that I was never alone and that you were always there for me even during the hardest of times. You were always a shoulder to cry on, and you always will be.

Sometimes professors will tell us, "call your parents and tell them you love them," and I sit in my chair and think, I just talked to my mom and most people around me probably haven't. But then I think, when was the last time I told my mom I love her. It's not something I constantly think about or feel I have to say because I always thought it was implied, but here it is.

I love you, Mom. Thank you for being you and for always being a rock in my life. There's nobody else I would rather be calling on my walks around campus.

Your daughter,

Alex

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.
