To My Person(s), I'm Not Even Sure How To Begin To Say 'Thank You'

I have so many things to thank you for, and I have no idea where to begin, but we'll start somewhere.

I think one of the most important things in life are the relationships you build with those you surround yourself with.

I have always been the person that loves a lot- sometimes too much. I overextend myself and most of the time it's for people that do not deserve it. I just wanted to give a quick "thank you" to the people that have chosen to love me despite my many annoying, obnoxious flaws.

I know I am not easy to deal with. I am hard headed and extremely opinionated, but you all never fail to make sure I see the bigger picture. I have learned to be more open-minded, and less judgmental about so many things. Thank you for opening my eyes to a totally new perspective.

I know am extremely overemotional, I know, sensitive should be my middle name. Thank you for always listening to my rants and never diminishing the way I feel. I tend to be overbearing and super sappy, so thank you for loving me for the cheese ball I am.

I know my anxiety gets the best of me at the worst times, but thank you for never making me feel overdramatic. Thank you for talking me through it and trying to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Stepping outside of my comfort zone is so refreshing, even if it is slightly terrifying.

I know we get busy, and often cannot seem to make time for each other, but catching up after weeks have passed is honestly one of my favorite things. Thank you for never making me feel guilty for being busy, or even just lazy at times, and having my back like no time has passed.

You know I often overthink every little thing and destroy perfectly good things because of my mind. Thank you for always talking me through this mindset and not letting it get the best of me.

You know that I go through phases where I need space from everyone, and you always respect that. You give me time to breathe and then you are there to pick up where we left off. Thank you for understanding and never asking questions.

You know how much I love music, and always send me songs you think I'll enjoy. Those "Hey, I heard this and thought you'd enjoy it" texts are always priceless. Thank you for sharing some of the most beautiful songs with me, and please keep sending them my way.

You know how trusting I am and often remind me that not everyone has the same intentions as me. Thank you for never making me feel stupid for trusting the wrong people, but reminding me that not everyone will hurt me the way people in my past have.

"Some people are really good with words, and to them that's all it is; a bunch of words strung together to make you fall."

I don't say it nearly as much as I should, but I am so blessed to have people in my life that see me at my worst and still love me as if I was at my best. I have learned so many things from the relationships I have built and I cannot wait to continue to watch them grow through all the trials life will throw at us.

You are my person(s), and I couldn't wish for better people in my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

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.
