To My College Friends That Will Be There For Me Forever
Maggie Whittell

Good friends are hard to come by these days. I got really lucky in college. I found some of my best friends in the entire world. They bring out the adventurous side in me and I have done so many fun things. I would have never thought possible.

When I'm with my friends I feel like myself. They make me forget about everything bad in my life. College friends are there for you in the long haul and I truly think that mine will be there for me my whole life. The world is just getting bigger with all of the people who are in it.

This year I've had many walks with my friends to weird places in the middle of the night. 12am walks are the best because there is no one out and you can embrace everything. I have also gotten lost multiple times because my friends and I are direction-ally impaired. It is very fun to get lost because you never know what you are going to find when you do find your way around. Over spring break I got lost many times in Boston. We took so many wrong turns and trains it was really fun to explore the city together.

My friends inspire me to think out of the box and try new things every day. I have done more than I could ever imagine in my first year of school.My first year has been the best ever. Meeting new people is a passion of mine I can't wait to see what this year brings. My friends and I have lost people along the way but we have stuck together like glue and made it work. This will be the best year ever. My friends are like coming up for a breathe of fresh air that I never knew I had.

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.
