A Thank You To My Ex Best Friend
Storm Sexton

I have been so unbelievably angry. I am angry that you couldn't be the friend I thought you were. I am angry that you intentionally hurt me by dating a boy you know I cared a lot about. I am angry that despite everything we've been through I still miss you. I miss the old you, the one that cared about me, that wanted the best for me, and disliked the boys that hurt me. But now, you don't care and you are with the boy that hurt me the most. You aren't you anymore.

I've been reflecting on my anger and I decided that I have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone has the heart that I have. Not everyone is going to give the same respect and love to me that I give to them . Thank you for teaching me that I deserve better. I deserve better friends, I deserve a man who will respect me, I deserve to be put first and to be a number one priority. Thank you for breaking my heart. I would blame it on the boy, but he and I were never like how we were. We were best friends, I trusted you with all my heart and you broke it. Thank you for teaching me how to put the pieces back together; I have cracks in my heart, but at least it's a beautiful heart with good intentions.

What I want to thank you for the most, is the insight to who I want to be. I want to be the person who you can come back to if you ever need me. I want to be the person that people trust and I want to be the person with the kind heart. I want to be the person who lives their life knowing I did everything in my power to help other's with their struggles. I want to be the person who is respected, not because I am wealthy with money or possessions, but because I am wealthy with knowledge and wisdom. I will be the best version of me because the old me has been ruined. I am stronger, more genuine, and more understanding thanks to you.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for everything. I'm glad you were able to teach me these lessons of life early on. I wish the best for you, because unlike you, I still care. I still love you like a sister and I always will.

Love,

Your Ex Best Friend

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.
