To My College Best Friends
Friends

It was the last week of June in 2016 and I was spending it at my college expo. As shy as I am I was so nervous, yet I opened up almost more than I ever had. But most importantly I met two of my greatest and best friends that I would have for my first year of college and hopefully until I die.

I was placed into group six, which is where I met my first friend, Emily. I didn't know much about her then but time would soon allow us to grow closer together. I, then, met Courtney. It was because of Emily and I attending the pool party they were having. There Courtney kicked my butt in corn hole and through that became a beautiful friendship. Somehow or another, Courtney and I ended up hanging alone that night, just watching a movie and talking. It already seemed like we knew each other with as much as we told.

Once I left that week I didn't know much about them, but in a few short months, that would all change. I started college in August of 2016. Thankfully all three of us decided to continue to meet up. We began eating lunch and dinner together and that led to a million other things. Like studying together, to sleepovers, to joining a sorority, late night Cook-Out runs, to arts and crafts nights. There is plenty more but I think you get the point.


Emily and Courtney are some of the sweetest, most down to earth girls I have ever met. They have gone through their own share of things but continue to stay positive and strong. They keep me laughing. It was great to find friends to blast Hannah Montana in the car with. Two of my most favorite things about Emily are that she loves desserts and napping just as much as I do! And I just love seeing how happy Courtney gets talking about John Mayor!

I just want to say thank you to Emily and Courtney for being there for me when I needed y'all. I couldn't have fully gotten through everything without y'all. Whenever I got distracted, each of you were there to pull my focus back into my work. All the encouragement, and reminding me I could do it, is appreciated, more than you'll ever know. Even through the tears y'all made me laugh. It's been a great year, and I want to thank y'all for making it one of the best. Being away from home wasn't so bad because I had y'all by my side. I will miss y'all over the summer!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
