For My Best Friend

Because I miss you like hell, my dear.

This is for you, Dill. Because I miss you and you're not here. Because even if we're far far far apart, you're still here with me.

You brought me in with open arms. I'll never forget when you talked about my moving in as if it were a given, not a huge decision Kat had to make. It made me feel like I had a place to call home, and people that would want me to live there. That meant more than you'll ever know.

We bonded slowly, but strongly. It started with our mutual detestation for certain people and led to our mutual love for all things Harry Potter, cheese and music that makes us get the feels we hate getting.

You went from my roommate's girlfriend to my friend. We would sit there together and do homework in between classes. You understood the beauty of being alone... together. That's right. I just brought Fall Out Boy into this. It's real now. You had bees and I had ballet and we were both tired all the time.

Then we found out we have like everything in common. Equestrian? Yep. Poetry? You bet. Converse? Always. Even the stuff we don't like to talk about we share. But for real, who can put on shoes standing up. That's just a bunch of malarkey, McMurray. See what I did there? I know you're rolling your eyes right now.

You grew from my friend to my confidant to my best friend. A title neither of us take lightly by any means. From John Mulaney to what I will refer to as March Madness to ice cream at Ziggy's wondering why those two girls were staring at us. They were just jealous of us.

Now we share everything. You're the first person I call in crisis and the first person I think of when someone talks about their best friend. You convince me to step outside my comfort zone, and you always support me. I know you'll hate me because this will give you the feels but I feel it too so don't worry. You're never alone. You're the Sirius to my James, mischievous and adventurous with an incredibly kind heart... and a pony tail.

I miss you and your pony tail. I miss when we always had lunch together and Crows Nest on the weekends. I miss having Brooklyn accents that are too on point. It's scary how good we are at that. I miss you being down for anything and always being there. We became best friends because suddenly we were just there, in each other's lives. In retrospect, it could've turned out very bad if we weren't both so awesome. But thank God we're as cool as Poison Ivy and Harley. I love ya' Dill, and I can't wait to be your official roommate and best friend next quarter.

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. 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.
