Dear significant other,

Just kidding.

I love you. I hope you always remember that. Thank you for all of the activities you've done with me. Thank you for all the silliness. Thank you for all the crap you put up with. Thank you for dealing with me. Thank you for loving me even when I am hard to love. Thank you for treating me with the utmost respect. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you for worrying. Thank you for being there with me when I have needed you and thank you for being there when I have not.

Dear significant other,

Though we've had our ups and downs we've prevailed and I thank you for sticking around because I know that at times, more often than not, I am hard to love. Thank you for keeping my spirits up and keeping faith in me. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for encouraging me.

Dear significant other,

Thank you for the laughs, the smiles, and the dancing. Thank you for the meals you provide and the tender loving care. Thank you for forcing medicine down my throat when I am too stubborn to take it myself because I would rather let my immune system fight it naturally. Thank you for that because it makes me feel better almost instantly and that is all you ever want for me, is to feel my best. Thank you for wanting the best for me and thank you for bringing out the best in me. Thank you for still wanting to be with me when you've seen me at my worst. Thank you for seeing me first thing in the morning and not running. Thank you for the kisses. Thank you for the hugs. Thank you for appreciating my love for makeup. Thank you for letting me do yours occasionally. Thank you for not getting mad that I published that on social media. Thank you for doing my eyebrows for me that one time. Thank you for getting pedicures with me.

Thank you for all the sushi you get me. Thank you for feeding that addiction. Thank you for taking me to prom senior year and thank you for all the trips to the antique district that started our relationship. Thank you for introducing yourself 5 years ago. Thank you for sitting by me in class when I asked you to, otherwise, this article wouldn't exist. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your silliness and crazy. Thank you for putting up with my intense love of cats and animals in general. Thank you for the intense love of "Brown Eyed Girl" you've instilled in me. Thank you for taking me to the emergency room at 4 a.m.

Most of all, thank you for loving me.

But I must ask,

Did you bring more cheese pizza?

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?

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.
