On our second year of college

A Letter To My Best Friend
Nadia Palma

College wont be easy for the either of us and I know that life itself is going to test us. I just want you to know that no matter where we choose to go in our lives, I'll always be by your side. This letter comes from the bottom of my heart and I just want to remind you how much I appreciate you and all your support. As we get closer and closer to achieving one of our biggest dreams together, I want you to know now that our friendship is unbreakable and that I value you so much as a person. Without you, I don't know how my life would've turned out. While this letter alone isn't enough to explain my adoration and appreciation for you, this is just a taste.

Dear Best Friend,

I can't forget those moments we laid across my living room floor talking about our lives, the majority of the things you say still linger in my mind. Remember when I fell out of love and didn't know how to let go? You were there to correct me throughout all my wrongdoings and you still had enough love in you to hold me close when I needed it the most. I don't know where life will take us, but I do know we've made it past difficult patches and rainy days. I want you to know that you're special to me. It's not about how easily you make me laugh or how quickly you make me smile. It's the way you listen to all I have to say without judgment. Trust me, I know I can be annoying at times and I like to believe the world is out to get me at times. But when was the last time you told me I needed to change? Never.

As we get older, there is no doubt we will change. The only things that don't change are memories and what we've said. The other day, I was watching a movie called "Remember Me" and a quote said stuck to me, "Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we've touched". Do you believe you can make an impact on someone's life, that you leave an aura behind even after you're long gone? I do. I used to think the term soul mate meant finding someone to share your life with - preferably your partner. That was until you came into my life. I mean who is going sit down with me and binge watch Netflix while eating ice cream? Who's going to sit next to me and actually listen to all my thoughts? Now I think a soul mate is someone you love deeply and share an unbreakable bond with, whether it be your best friend or partner. Maybe you're best friend and soul mate all in one. How lucky can I get?

In our second year of college, I just want you to know that no matter what is thrown at us, we can get through it together like we always do. I mean we survived high school anatomy together! We can definitely handle college. Thank you for always believing in me and supporting my goals, even when I doubted myself. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us both, and I can't wait to see the day we're both holding our diplomas...We're one step closer to our dreams. I believe in you and all your abilities. I know we can do this.

Sincerely,

Your best 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.
