For My Right Hand, My Go-To

To the one I can always count on.

For My Right Hand, My Go-To

"If I murdered someone she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person." Thank God for that little girl with the evil smile that I chose to become friends with in the 3rd grade. 10 years of friendship and luckily we haven't killed each other (yet).

I have so many best friends, and for that, I consider myself lucky. But we all have that one person. Most of my friends went away to college, and I was afraid to be alone. But I never was. From working together to running errands to talking on the phone for hours (without a second of silence), I had someone there my entire freshman year.

From failing my first algebra test to boys who weren't who I thought they were, you listened to everything I had to say (kind of, you have a severe case of selective hearing). You always know what is best for me, and you tell me whether I like to hear it or not. I know on my wedding day you're the one that's going to have to sit with me as I rethink my decision. No one has ever understood me better. Not in an emotional way, more like you can order for me at a restaurant (you know damn well I want chicken fingers) or pick out a boy for me at a bar.

I know we're not the type of best friends who like to show their love for each other, but everyone knows it's there. You will forever be the most honest, funny, smart, caring person in my life. I will never be able to thank you for that. What I can thank you for is midday CVS runs, 6-hour shifts together when all I do is complain, sharing clothes even though we are totally not the same size, telling me when I look stupid, debating over matte lipsticks and so much more.

You'll never hear me say this again so cherish it now, but I love you til the end of time and you will always be my sista. You'll always be the Peyton to my Brooke, and the Lola to my Hannah Montana (even though we fought about who was who.) Thank you for everything you've done and will continue to do for me.

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.
