Is it just me?

Maybe it's me...

Is it just me?

Maybe I am just the one that would rather have one single friend that I can trust with every single secret, than a thousands friends who just run their mouths about everything and about me.

I'd rather have the one friend who genuinely loves me for who I am, than many fake friends who's love is just fake.

I just rather have that one friend who will show up when things are hard for me, than fake friends who flake on me when times get tough.

I'd rather have one friend who will scream and clap and celebrate my successes, than fake friends that are rolling their eyes as I succeed in life, as they secretly hope I fail.

I just rather have that one friend who accepts me as I am, than fake friends who I have to impress every time I am around them or to even just keep them around.

I'd rather have that one friend who forgives me when I slip up in life just because they know my heart if pure, than fake ones who expect nothing but perfection.

I'd rather have that one friend who stays and holds me close when I need it, than fake friends who will flake and take me in when something or someone better comes along.

I would rather have that one friend who lifts me up, than fake ones trying to tear me down daily.

I would rather have that one friend who sees me for me, than fake ones who look away or even right through me.

I'd rather have that one friend who genuinely cares about my best interest in things, than someone who pretends like they do and only cares about what I do for them.

I would rather have one friend who is always there right beside me through the bad times and the good, not the fake ones that run when the bad things hit and can't see the good things that are happening right before you.

I'd rather have that one friend who keeps their word to me and tells me the truth and never says "I love you" in vain, than fake friends who will say any pretty lie they can come up with and that goes back on their promises.

That one true friend is better than millions of fake friends.

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.
