An Open Letter To My Little Brother
Anne Kernkamp

Dear Little Bro,

Thank you for always being brutally honest when I ask you about anything. Whether it's my hair, the guy I am dating or any of my academic decisions, you always tell me like it is. No censor. I may not be the biggest fan of it at the time, but I always appreciate it in the long run.

Thank you for giving me the simplest, but most helpful advice whenever I need it. Somehow you always find a way to make any problem seem so small and the solution seem so easy.

When it comes time for you to bring a girl who you're serious about home to meet the family, I will put aside my belief that no one is good enough for you. I will love any girl that you love and who loves you in return.

Thank you for always standing next to me through any family drama. I am forever grateful for that.

I'm not the biggest sports fan, but I feel confident enough about current events going on in the sporting world, thanks to you. Whether you're yelling at the TV when watching a football game or trying to explain to me the rules of lacrosse, I appreciate it.

I know that I can tell you anything, and even if you do judge me, it won't change your perception of me as a person. You know me better than anyone, and vice versa.

Thank you for sharing many of the same interests as me so our discussions are never boring.

I love how you can always make me laugh at your ludicrous thoughts because I know you aren't afraid of what I think. That's something I will never take for granted.

All in all, thank you for being you.


All The Love In The World,
Your Big Sis.

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.
