To My Mother, Thank You For Loving Me Through Everything
Tori Trammell

Dear Mom,

I want to start this letter off by expressing how much I love you. I'm afraid I do not show you or tell you enough how much I truly care for you. Since I'm in college now I rarely see you, and I miss you more than ever. I want you to know that you are the most important woman in my life. You are everything I strive to be and more. You have the kindest heart, and I've never met someone with more grace and love than you. Every day, I see you love people and I wonder how someone can have as pure of a heart as you. You constantly give and you never expect anything in return. You've sacrificed everything just to make sure I'm loved.

Part of this letter is to thank you for your endless love. I continue to make mistakes time after time, but you have never loved me any less. Your constant support is overwhelming. Whenever I need anything, you drop what you're doing to make sure I'm okay. You have always put me before yourself and even through my worst times you've been right beside me. When I need a shoulder to cry on, you'll be there for me for hours. When I tend to be annoying and complain, you still listen to me.

I want to say I'm sorry for the times I've fought with you, and the times I didn't listen. You have been right about every single situation I've ever been in. You give the best advice and always know what's right. I know I've upset you and disappointed you in the past, but thank you for continuing to love me through all of that. I can always call you when I run into trouble, and I'm sorry I haven't appreciated you as much as I should have over the years. Sometimes I forget to acknowledge everything you do for me.

Lastly, thank you for being my best friend.

We have had the best of times together. The laughter, hugs, kisses, smiles, and all the lessons you have taught me means the world to me. I truly do not know what I would do with you. You are my go-to person. I do not deserve someone in my life as amazing as you, but I'm so blessed to have you. I love you more than words will ever be able to explain.

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.
