I love you, and I haven't forgotten about you

To My Family While I Am At College
Madison Hirsch

To my family while I am away at college:

First of all I want to let you all know that classes are going good, and I would tell you all if they were not. Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am getting more involved. The weather has been okay, it has not been my favorite time of the year, but it is not too hot or too cold so that is fine. And yes I saw that person’s post on Facebook the other day, and I could not believe they posted that either.

I love you all very very much, and I am so so thankful that I get to call you my family. Living far away at school makes it really hard to keep up to date when you all. I really wish that I had all the time in the world to do everything I want to do at school and to talk to you guys all the time.

Remember when I told you guys that this semester was going to be one of my busiest semesters yet? Well, it is already starting up. I have been busier than ever, and busy could be a good thing, But now thinking about it and being busy means that I do not get to talk to you all as much as I would like it. Now, I am not making up an excuse because I do not think that there is really any excuse for not talking to your family, but I am really busy.

I do really miss you guys, like a lot. I miss the funny weird times that would just randomly start up. I also really miss the family trips that we would take. But one thing that I miss the most is our talks, and family game night (even though we did not get to do that much this past summer).

I want to talk to you all literally all the time. I want you to know what is going on in my life, and how my classes are going. I want to rant to you about how stressed I am, and I want advice on how to deal with my stress. I want to know what is going on back home. I want to know all the family drama, and how everyone is doing in their sports and at school. I want to be involved in your lives and I want you all to be involved in my life.

One thing that I want you all to know is that it is okay for you all to call me first. I may not answer at first but I will call you back when I get some free time. Or please text me out of the blue and just fill me in on the details of what is going on back home, I would really like that. I swear you are not annoying me when you do that. And I promise to start trying harder to talk to you guys more. I am working on making time for my family in my busy schedule while I am here at school.

I love you all so much it is hard to explain!

With Love,

Your college student

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
