We started from the bottom and now we're here.

A Letter To My Pledge Class As We Enter 2017
Ragan Young

Well, we've entered a year, which mean, new classes, new people, new pledges, new drama, new bumps in the road. I learned a lot about myself in 2016, but I couldn't have done it without you ladies.

Dear PC 15,

We've been through hell and back in 2016, from going to one of the biggest pledge classes, to one of many, but close-knit people. We're going to take on the world together in 2017. I've never been more proud to call each and every one of you a sister. Let's be real here, Joce can lift more than I've seen a man lift. KJ is one of the most inspirational people I've ever met, and Loren, you are my sunshine on my bad days. I can't give you all individual shout outs or we'd be here forever, but ladies, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I could not get through this year without any of you by my side.

Thank you, ladies, for becoming part of what I see as a part of my family. We pick each other up when one of us is down. We bicker and we fight, but when do sisters not bicker and fight? Thank you, ladies, for supporting me and any of us when we're going through hard times, it happens to all of us, but some of us are better at hiding it than others. But if any of you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, or someone to fight for you, call a sister, that's what we're here for.

This year made me realize that PC 15 is going places. We are a force to be reckoned with. We can't stop, we won't stop. You all make me very proud to call you sisters. I cannot wait to see what we do for this chapter, because it is our turn to make a difference. We have to prove that we are ready to take on the responsibility to make this chapter better than what it was when we came into it. We had amazing leaders when we were new members Sarah and Christine were great, Maddie and Grace were too. Bailey and Jacquelyn will do even better.

Once again thank you, ladies, for a great year, cannot wait to see what's next for us.

Much love and ITB,

A sister who needed you

PS: Can we have more PC dinners to El Mezcal?

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
