Fox Hills Resort, Thank You.


When I first came across Fox Hills at the career fair, I didn’t know what to expect. Everything the managers told me made it sound like an amazing opportunity, so I applied. I’m glad I did because I was right: this company has given me everything I need and was everything I hoped it would be.

The General Manager: Making the resort run smoothly is what gave us a good experience. Without everything you do for the resort, it wouldn’t be the same. Thank you for being good at your job, also getting to know us on a personal level, this made it a much more welcoming environment. Also, it was fun getting to know you as well because you have so many great experiences to share.

The HR Manager: Keeping in touch and answering my questions prior to accepting the offer is what made my good decision easier to make. Thank you for all of that and checking in with us to make sure we’re comfortable in every way and to make sure we were getting the experience we need.

Thank you to both of you for organizing social gatherings for the interns, they were very enjoyable. You always made me smile with your warm welcomes and good talks throughout the summer.

My direct manager: Your flexibility and time to help me learn is what made me successful in my tasks. Because of your guidance and have a lot show for on my resume. Thank you for that giving me something to look forward to at work so I never got bored.

The sales associate: Allowing me to observe and assist you gave me a chance to see how sales work professionally and at a higher level. I also learned some of your tasks proficiently which gave me more perspective in terms of what kind of full time positions I’d look at when the time comes. Thank you teaching me your ways.

Thank you to the whole office for the stories and good laughs, they’re some of my greatest memories of Fox Hills. For the random food we’d share, it was always brightened my day. And sorry for all the corn (inside joke). I can’t help it if it’s always in season.

My direct roommate: You really were the best I had, I’m not saying it just to say it. You always made a long day better with your smiles and great smells in the kitchen. You’re also a great friend and a lot of fun. Thank you.

My other roommates: It takes a special person to have the courage you have, to go halfway across the world to a country that’s so different than what you know and love. It takes an even more special person to do that and put up with the loud shenanigans that went on in our living room. Thank you for being you and I can’t wait to see you guys again real soon.

My fellow interns: You understood me the best because you’re in the same place as me, and it was always nice to chat about what that's like. Also to chat about anything else, there was always someone there. You’re the only ones who understand emotion I have for Fox Hills and I sure hope you share it with me. I’m glad you became my friends too, and I can’t wait to hang out with you when we get back to school!

Every other employee: I don’t have anything bad to say about anyone. Everyone has always been kind and a joy to be around. What I’ll miss the most about Fox Hills is having a friend around every corner, at any time. There was always a smile, a joke, a story and a listening ear every time I needed it.

I’m also gonna miss the gorgeous beach nearby, virgin bloodys after work, friendly neighbors, Festival Foods, trips to Titletown and golf carts. There was always something to learn, something to look forward to and always a reason to know I’m in a good direction.

I’ll be forever grateful for everyone and everything I experienced at Fox Hills Resort, where amazing is always in season.

Once again, thank you all for everything.

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.

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.
