Dear Future Son,

There's a lot of lessons I want to teach you throughout your life but there is one specific lesson that you need to learn. The subject is girls. One day, you will be old enough to realize how you feel about them, don't worry this is natural. Not all girls are the same, and this you will come to find out. You will meet a sea of girls before you find Mrs. Right, and you will have your heart broken many times before you stumble upon her. Girls are awesome, despite what you might think at times. The right ones are sweet, caring, loving, respectful, fun and will make your life better than you can imagine. But you must respect each girl that comes your way even if she is not the right one. Treat her like you don't want to lose her. Make her believe that there is nobody out there more caring, loving and fun than you (because there isn't). If you want her, then take a risk. Never doubt who you are because you think she might not like you. You are your greatest advocate and if you believe in yourself, she will fall for your irresistible charm.

She won't always make you happy, that's a part of life. But she can make everything worth wild if you just have some patience. Don't forget to say you're sorry. She will grow to love you more when you own up to your mistakes. But don't forget to tell her when she is being irrational; your life will be less complicated when you communicate with her. Don't judge a girl based off looks, there is much more than what meets the eye. True beauty lies in her heart and character and that is what you will come to appreciate when you are 90-years-old holding hands at the movies. The right ones are worth it.

Not all girls will appreciate you. Some girls will make you doubt the point of relationships. They are a part of the plan. Life is about learning when you and a girl don't work out, there is a better one just around the corner. She might take many things from you, but do not let her take your pride because there is so much more to life than a faulty relationship. She'll regret letting you go one day. Be kind and know that girls like guys who go out of their way to say, "Hi, how are you?"

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
