To My Dog, Who Was Gone Too Soon, I Hope You're Doing Everything You Love In Doggy Heaven
Abby Sweeney

To my dog, who was gone too soon.

You were only with us for four years, and I wish we could have had longer together. You weren't just my dog, but my birthday twin, my friend, my partner in crime, my everything. Thank you, for just being you. Thank you for being the nicest dog I had ever met. For being the goofiest dog. Thank you for making me laugh until I cried. For always knowing when I was upset and just being there.

Even on the day you went to heaven, you knew I was sad and came to sit next to me. In the two years that we had you and our other dog Bonnie, thank you for helping her enjoy her last couple of years with us.

I wish I could have spent more time with you. I wish we could have gone on more walks together. I wish we could have gone on more adventures. I wish we could have spent more birthdays together. I wish I could've thrown the beat up old soccer ball that you loved so much for you one last time. I wish I could see you run around the yard one last time. I wish I could drive around with you as my co-pilot again. I wish I could take you to Rita's or Starbucks to get a pup cup or puppuccino again.

I miss coming home and seeing you at the door. I miss hearing your paws against the hardwood floor. I miss throwing your toys for you. I miss hearing your bark when someone was at the door. I miss seeing your tail wag 100 miles per hour. I miss seeing you come in from outside. I miss seeing you sitting in the shade when I looked out the window. I miss the little white furs by your nose. I miss switching the bandana you wore every so often. I miss introducing you to new people. I miss knowing you were right around the corner.

I miss you.

Now that you are in heaven, and it is a better place for you, I hope you are playing with all of the other dogs. I hope you are doing everything you love, which is too long of a list to start.

I hope we gave you the best time on earth in the four short years we had you because you gave me the best time. I miss you.

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.

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.
