An open letter to my best friend

Hi, my best friend,

This is your best friend from seventh grade. Do you remember our first nickname? Do you remember our first fight? Do you remember our first adventure? Do you remember our first of all the things that we did together?

I know you remember everything because we still talk about those little moments together. I know that I can not see you around here because we are separated by city, by state, by country, and even by continent, but I still consider that you are my best friend. It is not that we can not see each other, it is just we choose to not to see each other. There is the only connection between you and me; phone. We pretty much talk every day through the phone because we miss each other, but I still miss you.

Recently, you told me about the love of your life. At first, it was hard to accept to see you as a grown woman who makes her own decisions. I know that you choose that person because he must be a very nice guy. I still remember you as the teenage girl in her uniform because that's how we introduce each other. Even though we started our friendship with a fight, I guess we ended it with a nice note. No matter how big you grow as a person, you will always be my best friend from seventh grade.

You kept asking that if I am ok with your relationship. At first, I said "yes" and had mixed feelings about it, but now I am saying "yes" with my whole heart.

You will always be my best friend. As long as we live, as long as we die.

Your lovingly,

your one and only best friend (Suchitha Kumar)

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.
