The Best Friendships Come When You Least Expect It
Sydney Friedman


Andi,

First and foremost, I'd like to mention how lucky I am to have found you. I know we've known of each other for years. But honestly, I was intimidated by your beauty, your genuine kindness and your love of going out (at the time). We were always friendly to one another but never hung out. If only we decided four years ago to spend one day and hang out, the rest would have been history. Life has a funny way of working out anyway because you're stuck with me for life, it just took a few years longer than I would have liked.

This won't be one of my rambles, don't worry. I just find it necessary to show my appreciation towards you and the wonderful person that you are.

You were gone for Semester at Sea and came back to live alone and become a fancy real estate agent. You came into my life at such an ideal time for the both of us. Thank you Elan Midtown for bringing us together, Since then, you have changed my life for the better. I have never found someone so similar to me in so many ways. We have such similar outlooks, humor and interests. We even speak the same. We're basically with the same boy (two different people, same personality) and I know that I could come to you for anything--our (first world) problems are pretty much the same anyway. There is this saying that opposites attract, but that's not the case for us. We're a powerful force, you and I. (and Drewby of course).

It is rare to know someone for a few months but have it feel like we have known each other for years. Fortunately, that is that case for us. I believe that is something so special. I purposely scheduled an extended trip back to move out of my apartment in Charleston so that I could have extra time with you. I came into college with a group of friends my freshman year. I left college with less than five incredibly close friends and I wouldn't change a thing.

Some of my favorite times in college were laying horizontal next to you on my couch, watching crime and cult shows and not moving for hours. And of course our late night Benny runs, eating pizza bigger than our faces and wondering "who's stomach made noise this time". I will always be here to listen, your shoulder to cry on and your fellow schemer. You're the only Fortnite gamer I will always be willing to tolerate.

You don't judge me for my crazy and you show me what it takes to be a giving, genuine, caring and happy person. I have never met someone who brings so much light into a room in an instant. As soon as someone meets you, Ands, you make them feel special and most importantly, comfortable. You are so easy to talk to and such an incredible confidant. I would be crushed if I didn't have you in my life. Thank you for being my angel sent from heaven above, I don't know what I would do without you.

Ps. My mother now has to cheers at every meal because of you. Your amazing personality never stops leaving a mark.

I love you with my whole heart

*Cheers*

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.
