To My Grandparents

The support system of our family

To My Grandparents

You're both hilarious. You are constantly making everyone in the family laugh with the way you bicker and pick on each other. You remind us that we really do love each other, even when we struggle with that. You are the center of our family, whether you know it or not.

There is no one else in the family like the two of you. You've been through so much together and you're still holding each other up. You hold up our entire family, no matter what we're going through. The two of you are the foundation that our family has grown on and continues to stand on.

But you're not just the foundation. Somehow, you support us and stand with us at the same time. I marvel at the two of you. You do the impossible. You've managed to hold our family together and even when we were torn apart for a little while you stood next to everyone, gently reminding us that we are better standing together than we are apart.

You're relationship has made you stronger. That's how you can constantly hold our family together. One day I want a relationship just like yours. I want to bicker and pick at and be independent, but still have someone to crawl into bed with at the end of the day and say "I love you" to - and mean it.

I know I'm not the only one in our family who feels this way about you both, but I was thinking about how little we tell you that we appreciate you. You both go out of your way to take care of everyone in our family, even when you don't have to. We are your priority, I can see it in every decision you make.

I think that I can speak for the entire family when I say, we love you. There will never be any one else in the world like the two of you and I wouldn't want it any other way. You are both so special. I will never be able to put into words how much you both mean to me and to the rest of our family, but I thought I'd try.

Thank you so much for everything that you do. We know that you love us and I want you both to know that we love you too.

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.

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.
