An Open Letter To My Mom

No matter what we go through, and no matter how much we argue I know in the end, she will always be there for me.

An Open Letter To My Mom
Jessica Handy

A mother's love is the type of love you can't receive from anyone else. It's a special kind of love. It's a love that has no limits. A mother pushes you to be the best person you can be. Mom, this one is for you.

Dear Mom,

I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate you. You do so much for me and even when I don't voice I appreciate it all, just know I do. Also, just know that I love you. I love you so much. I know I might not act like it all the time, but I do. You are my rock. When things are rough, you're always there. When I want to rant (which is all the time) you just sit and listen and then usually give me advice about how I need to handle the situation. You might think I don't take your advice to heart, but I do. If I didn't have you I honestly have no idea what I would do. You keep me sane I swear. I know I make life hard on you sometimes and I apologize. We have been through some rough trials, let me tell you. Truthfully though I wouldn't take anything that has happened back because all that has happened has brought us closer together. I am sorry for the times I've let you down though. You don't deserve to be let down, but you do deserve the world. You're the strongest person I know. You have been through it all and still manage to keep it together. You have sacrificed so much for me and it means more than anything to me. I am so blessed to have you as my mother. I love you so much. You are my entire world, whether you know it or not. Thank you for sticking by my side, always.

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.
