Dear Best Friend

No one can out friend the best friend.

Dear Best Friend,

I know we haven’t really seen each other very much since I have been off at college. To be honest though, you have had a lot going on yourself. Don’t think I don’t care about you just because we aren’t talking as much as we used to. I still love you dearly and I think about you all the time. I know we don’t even text that much either but really, I don’t text that much anyways.

Classes are hectic and when I’m not gaining knowledge or eating, I’m asleep. I know you miss me and I miss you too. So, when you get to missing me, just think about what we have been through together and know that I’m just trying to figure out where I fit in at school and in the world. I am overjoyed when I see your posts about your day or when I see your weird snapchats. I am also glad that you are finding your niche at your university and you are making new friends that aren’t fake.

However, we have been there for each other for the past seven years, in the good and the bad. For the good, I like to think of our inside jokes. You losing your eyepatch was quite hilarious! Also, I like to look back on the times we have spent together where we just do dumb things. We could honestly just sit together for hours and talk about nothing in particular. The bad however wasn’t exactly fun. You were there when I needed a shoulder to cry on and you were there through all of my crushes. I was there when you needed someone to cry into and when you had your breakups. Even though I can be a bit violent and protective, you stayed with me. We were there for each other when we were needed the most and even when we weren’t really needed but just wanted to just be in each other’s presence. What I love the most about our friendship is that we can be away from each other for months at a time and when we get together again much later, it’s as if we were never parted. We pick up right where we left off and we are right back in the other’s life.

The last thing that I want to tell you is that I love you and that I don’t want to ever lose you. Stay strong and remember to live your life even if I can’t be there all of the time. I love you!

Your Bestfriend

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.
