I just don't tell you this enough

A letter to my best friends saying everything I know I should say.

I just don't tell you this enough
Allison Massey

So I'm gonna start off by saying, I'm not a perfect friend. I realize many of you may be shocked by this but I'm not. I can be rude, crass, way too honest, and just down right mean; but I can also be supportive, passionate, and loving. So here's a glimpse to that side of me. Here are some things I really don't tell ya'll enough:

I love you

I do, I really do. I am ungrateful at times because you do so much for me that I just expect it but I do love you more than anything in this world.

Thank you

You guys are everything to me. You help me when I fall down, you pick up all the pieces even when you knew it would happen. So thank you, from the deepest parts of me for everything that you do.

You are amazing

Some of my friends know and believe this about themselves, but for those of you who don't here you go. I can't tell you enough just how amazing you are. You are so much more than what you see in yourself. You're not just someone there to pick up the pieces, you are wonderfully created to be the amazing person that you are. You're incredibly talented in several ways, some of you are incredible singers, some of you have a passion to help others, and some of you are just the best type of friend there is. Please always remember that you are more incredible than what you believe about yourself and that I think you're incredible.

I know I'm annoying

I do realize that I can be a bit... demanding. I just try to push each of you to be the absolute best you can be. If I take the time to be your friend and put the effort in to talk to you I realize that at some point I'm going to annoy you. I'm fully aware of that, but thanks for sticking around anyway.

I see potential in you

As many of you know, I don't really like spending time around people because they always disappoint. So if I am friends with you I believe that you have the potential to do amazing things and I fully intend to push you every step of the way there.


So to my friends, I know I should say all of these things more often, but I don't and I suck for here. Read this and remember it all the time even if I'm not being the greatest friend in that moment.

Love always,

The friend who doesn't deserve you.

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.
