A Letter To My Friend In Heaven

To my sweet friend who gained her wings too soon,

It is never easy to lose someone close to you. Most of us have experienced the pain of losing a loved one. It doesn’t matter if it was expected or not, the pain still hurts the same. Sometimes it’s hard to express our feelings when we go through the stages of grief, but it can be very beneficial to find an outlet for your feelings. It’s important to find a way to honor and remember your angel in heaven.

It never gets easier without you. They say that time heals all wounds, but that is not the case. It has been almost two years since you gained your wings, but the pain of losing you is still heavy on my heart. Some days are harder than others, but the pain never really goes away.

I miss you. Not a day goes by that I don’t yearn to give you a big hug and see that beautiful smile of yours. I miss you more than my words can even describe. I would do anything to give you one more hug. I miss our talks, the laughs, spending time with you, and everything else about you.

I hope that I make you proud. Many things that I have done in life are because of you. I want to do things that would make you proud. There are things that I would have never done in life, but you inspired me to step out of my comfort zone. I want to make you proud in everything I do.

You still have an impact on me. Your life was short, but you lived every day to the fullest. You inspired me to be the best version of myself and to live each day like it is my last. I think of you and your fighting spirit when I’m going through a tough time, and you still inspire me to pick myself up and keep pushing on.

I will never forget you. There is no way that I could ever forget about you. You are not someone I could just forget about. You had such a huge impact on my life. I think about you every single day. You are constantly on my mind. I promise that you will never be forgotten.

You hold a special place in my heart. You hold a place in my heart that will be there forever. That place in my heart is a whole that only you can fill. I carry you in my heart because you are so special to me. I love you so much. You will forever be one of my best friends even if you are in heaven now.

I can’t wait to see you again. The one thing that helped me deal with the pain of losing you was thinking about the moment that I’ll get to see you again in Heaven. I take comfort in that. I know you are having a grand party up in Heaven and one day I will get to join you up there.

In memory of my angel in Heaven, Unique Barnes.

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.
