An Open Letter To All Of My Friends
Kara Lydell

My friends,

I am so thankful and grateful for you. I couldn't have asked for better friends. You all are so supportive and amazing. I wouldn't be who I am without all of you. You all have impacted me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Some of you have taught me how to have fun and live a little, some of you have taught me how to be vulnerable, and some of you have taught me to overcome my challenges. You all are just so loving and understanding, sometimes I think I don't deserve it.

I know sometimes we don't talk often. I know we are in a busy time of our lives and sometimes our schedules just don't match up, so it can be difficult to catch up or have a good conversation. And even sometimes during breaks, there just isn't enough time to see you all. But I want you to know that I am always thinking about you and sending you my love. And when we do finally get to see each other again, I know that we will pick up right where we left off.

There may come a time where eventually we never speak and maybe we won't be friends anymore. I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, just know it wasn't your fault. Sometimes life gets in the way and maintaining relationships can be difficult as time passes on. But know that I enjoyed every single moment I had with you.

You hold a special place in my heart and you played a big part in my life. Whether you are in my life just for a few chapters or for most of them, you impacted my life and it means something to me. You are something special and I am so thankful that you chose me as a friend too.

Love forever,

A grateful friend

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.
