A Letter To My New Best Friend

I am not the kind of person who makes friends easily

A Letter To My New Best Friend

Dear Friend,

I am not the kind of person who makes friends easily - in fact I’m the kind of person who has had the same best friends my entire life. Branching out and making new friends will never be my specialty, but meeting you was different. Friendships can takes years to grow and become strong, but ours LITERALLY happened over night.

All it took was a few hours and we clicked. So rare, but so awesome! Ever since that night, we have become better friends each day and for that I am thankful. We have shared so many fun experiences in such a short amount of time. We have shared our hardships and sad stories too. But that is what friendship is; finding someone who you can laugh and cry with.

Since we haven’t known each other forever sometimes that makes our friendship. I am still trying to figure out how to have a new friend, and how to be a new friend. I have friends who, I swear sometimes, I can read their minds. With a new friendship, you have to work up to that, but we will get there! You already know me better then some people I’ve known for years! But there will come a day where I will know what you're about to say before you even say it. And, as with all friendships, there will come a day where I piss you off, a lot! But, we will work it out because thats what true friends do. (Sorry in advance for whenever that day happens!)

Thank you friend, for keeping me grounded when I want to fly off the handle and for reminding me to not be so “sassy.” Thank you for getting to know me and for becoming my friend, not because you felt like you had to because of our situations, but because you wanted to. Thank you for always making an effort to be the best friend possible. Thank you for being kind, honest, and fun all of the time. Thank you for accepting me, even when I'm being crazy.

I just want to promise you, friend, that I will always love you and this friendship. No matter what happens in life, this won’t be a friendship that is great then fizzles out. You are an amazing person and I am so happy you are in my life.

Thank you for being one of the best friends I have ever had, and will ever have.

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.
