A Letter To My Family

Dear Family,

I can never thank you enough for all that you have done for me and taught me. Let me just go through the list and tell you why.

To my Older Brother

Thank you for being the one I always look up to. We were a team growing up, and that was the best time ever. Not only did I learn through your mistakes, you also taught me lessons. Although we had so many times that we fought, both physically and verbally, it has been so great. Now we look back on those memories and laugh until we cry, wishing we could go back ro relive them. And so I would like to thank you for being my rolemodel.

To my Younger Sister

Thank you for being a pain in my butt. You may get on my nerves a lot, but we also have fun a lot. I have always strived to be your rolemodel just like our older brother was to me, and hopefully I have succeeded. Now that it is just you, me, and our younger brother living with mom and dad, we do so much together. Whether it's on a trip or vacation, we are usually doing all kinds of activities together. So I would like to thank you for being there all the time, even though you drive me nuts.

To my Younger Brother

Even though we don't havg out much, it's a hoot when we do. When my younger siblings and I get together to talk about the past, it's so fun to here your side because you are the baby. Us? We were never the baby, you have that spot. You are also very well educated on a lot of subjects. I may get annoyed that you are constantly on your phone watching Youtube and stuff, but you must be learning something. With that, I would like to thank you for teaching me sometimes.

To my Mom

First I would like to start with, thank you for still calling the doctor and everything for me. You are an angel. On to a more serious note, I could never ask for a better mom. You cheer me on and brag about me and my siblings so much. It's so awesome to know that through this crazy life, we will at least of one supporter. You have also taught me so many lessons and let me know about your mistakes, so I don't make the same ones. You and dad have ALWAYS been there for us and are always at any kind of dinner, sporting event, band or choir event, bakesale, etc. more than I saw any other parents. So thank you for loving us unconditionally.

To my Dad

I can not so enough about you. You are so wise and have taught me endless lessons. My favorite talks with you are when I am the only one with you. They have really shaped my thoughts now. I also love the ability to have quick comebacks and humor, that really comes in handy. You have taught me things like how to manage money, what kind of men to avoid, how to be independent, and so much more. I couldn't ask for more. Like I mentioned above, you and mom were always and anything that me or my siblings had, and it has taught us that you and mom love us unconditionally. I only hope that if I ever have kids, I can be as good of a parent that you and mom are. So thank you for loving us unconditionally.

I love all of you guys to no end and would never trade you for another family. My siblings and I may fight a lot and we may retaliate a lot, but look where we are now. We are doing just fine. To my family, thank you for being my family.

Love,

Your Daughter or Your Sister

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.
