A Letter To My High School Best Friends

Hey Girls,

I have been so blessed to know you girls and have you in my life. As the new girl my freshmen year you immediately welcomed me with open arms. You loved me through the good times and the bad. When I met you girls I was an entitled brat who thought the universe revolved around me. You stayed by my side all the way through high school and up to this very moment as I have grown and matured as a person. I know we do not see eye to eye on every subject but honestly who does? We have so many fond memories of school dances, sporting events, and many, many theatre productions.

We were always told during our senior year to love the time with our friends because after graduation we probably would never speak again. I was always so determined not to let that happen with you guys. I am so glad that we didn't let that happen. You guys keep me grounded even though we don't talk often. I can't believe all the changes that have happened in our lives since then. We have seen joy and heartache. We have laughed and made it a point to see each other. One of you is married which still amazes me and still seems odd. You're gonna be on the other side of the world and I know when you get back it will be as though we didn't miss a beat. One of you is drowning in school work to become a nurse. All because you love people and want to care for them. Yet you always find time to shoot me a quick text.

Girls I just wanted to thank you. For listening to my stories dozens of times and not getting annoyed with me. For being kind to the new girl at school and making that transition an easy one. For encouraging me with what I set my mind to. For dealing with my ego and never being harsh with me as I figured out who I was a person. You girls are seriously the best friends a person could have as she worked on finding herself. So thank you both for being my rock to cling to and a person to talk to without judgment.

Lots of Love,

The luckiest one of us.

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.
