A Thank You Letter To "My Person"
Lisandra Mejia

Honestly, there is just so much to thank you for. I probably would be able to fit it all in this article, and that's saying something because there have been no limit to the amount of words in an article. I just want to say right off the bat, I have no clue how you put up with me. Seriously I know I annoy you to death with all my stupid questions, comments, jokes. There is SO much you have done for me and I could never in a billion years be able to tell you how much it means to me.

You’ve taught me to push myself.

I’m gonna admit, I’m not the most focused person when it comes to school. Currently I have straight A’s in procrastinating, but we’ve been working on that. Whether its school or just life you push me to try new things, and have new experiences. I mean, if it wasn’t for you I would have already skipped everyday of biology and English.

You know how to help me through anything

2016, what a year. There’s been many up’s and down’s in both of our lives. I have tried to be the best of a friend I could be, but I know I have failed time and time again. Then there's you, who has been there for me no matter what and has had an opinion on no matter the topic, and you found a way to help me through whatever I was going through.

You know me better than I know me.

I have no clue how you do it. You know what I’m gonna do before I do it, which can kinda get a little creepy. But you know what’s best for me so you try to steer me in the right direction.

You never give up on me.

There have been many times since I’ve met you that I’ve wanted to give up. Just throw everything out the window and find a hole to crawl in and die. But when I fell you picked me up and showed me that I shouldn’t give up, that I have a bright future and can’t give up now. You believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. You’ve encouraged me through many tough parts of my life. I can never thank you enough for doing that.

You want the best for me.

A guy better not look at me unless he passes your inspection and your wonderful Facebook stalking skills. But I can’t really say anything because I do the same for you. The only reason that we do it is because we want the best for each other. You never want me to give less than 110% because you know I can do better. You just want me to succeed and live up to my best ability. You just really want the best for me, and I want the best for you.

You just get me.

You know me better than some people I’ve known my entire life. You just understand what I understand. By no means do I mean we are exactly the same. Believe me sometimes I wish I was more like you, but we just have a lot in common. When I talk about class you know exactly which one I’m talking about and exactly my problem. Really, if I talk about anything you know exactly the context and whatever else you know, because you know everything.

I dedicate this article to my partner in crime, my sister in blue and gold, my person, Sadie LaPointe. You’ve been there ever since the first day I met you in Horticulture. I have a feeling Mrs. Haigler knew we would become best friends when she sat us beside of each other. Since I’ve met you, you helped me make a decision that would change my life. You helped me to join the best organization, there is: FFA. Through this we have been on numerous adventures around the country. Other then FFA we have experienced the Dixie Chicks and well, basically surviving high school. Seriously I have no clue how I made it this far without you. I just know I don’t want to know what it is like again. You are the best friend anyone could ask for you are loyal and beautiful and awesome in every way. I hope you like this article, and I can’t wait to see what endeavors await us in 2017.

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.
