Friendship Is Like Peeing Yourself...

...everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

Friendship Is Like Peeing Yourself...

My mother told me as a kid not to talk to strangers. Actually, all our mothers told us that, if they were good parents. So clearly, being strange, I never talk to myself anymore, but what I don't understand is how anyone became friends.

Everyone was a stranger at one point in your life.

Your best friend in the whole world? Bam stranger! I have one and I can honestly say a year ago she didn't even exist in my world, but now I couldn't live without her.

Your parents? Strangers! It doesn't matter whose uterus you came out of. No one remembers their birth and if you do I am seriously sorry and you are deeply disturbed.

Your second cousin five times removed? Yeah... he's still a stranger.

So how do we make these connections in life and form these bonds that no one can question? The hell if I know, I am not God and my only point here was that friendship is beautiful and precious. Friendship is a blessing and should be cherished. No one knows how we find our person, and everyone will find their person or their people, it is just a matter of being patient.

Just remember to love your bestie as much as women in commercials love yogurt!

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
