A Letter To My Quad Squad
Alyssa Olsem

Dear Quad Squad,

We are made up of food runs, perverted jokes, and day long shopping trips. We laugh at and with each other. We tell each other how it is and aren't afraid to hold back our own opinions. We are four completely different human beings that have come together to take on the world, just as we are about to separate and embark on our own adventures in college. As we begin to part ways soon, anything could happen to any one of us.

In a year or two, we may no longer be friends and may become acquaintances, or our bond may have grown stronger within distance. Who knows what the world has in store for us, so let's have cheers to the few weeks we have left together. Cheers to the arguments we have experienced and grown from, cheers to the insane giggle fits at any time of day, and cheers to the love we have for each other.

This whole summer, we have planned around each other's schedules and now that it is August, we have to schedule around our departure dates. We have experienced so much together, and I have admired each of you since we first met. I aspire to have the confidence each of you contains.

You are all beautiful in your own ways, and your souls glow with warmth and kindness. You all will have successful and bright futures ahead of you and I can't wait to watch your life unfold before your eyes. I appreciate your care for me more than you could ever know.

I hope you will all receive the love you deserve from a significant other, don't settle because you deserve to be treated and respected like the queens you are. I know this isn't goodbye for forever, but as we move on to bigger and better things in the world, I want you to remember the little things.

The silence between us as we eat our ice cream in the shop, the sing-along dance jams in the car, the forgiveness we give each other after an argument, the way each of us talk when we are passionate about something, the way our face brightens and the hugs we give to each other after we go to long without seeing each other, and the way each of us smiles when we were truly happen.

The love I have for the Quad Squad is endless and I hope I never have to say goodbye to any one of you. Thank you for the love and support.

Sincerely,

1/4 of the Quad Squad

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.
