You've been there since the beginning, and this is a letter of thanks.

Dear You,

I would like to start by saying that you are one of the few people in my life that I can truly say has a heart of gold. You've always been my shoulder to lean on, the one who gives it to me straight when I am being too emotional and the one who gives the best hugs. All my life I have looked up to you. I know I haven't always shown how thankful I am for all you do for me, but just know that I always will.

You've been my best friend from day one, and someone that I know with complete certainty I will never be able to thank enough. You know what is important to me and continue to support me no matter what. You push me and motivate me when I don’t have enough drive myself. Maybe at first I won’t be too happy, but just know that it was worth the push because, now, I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else in my life.

You also inspire me to help, care and teach other people how to be the best they can be. You taught me to help those that are in need and to care for others even if I may not know them that well. I look up to your ability to be so selfless. As I mentioned before, I do not know how one person can have such a good heart, but you do. And I’m glad I have you in my life. You always have a smile and make people laugh even if you’re having a tough time yourself. I still struggle with projecting my feelings out into the world, but I will get there. As you told me, it’s just a part of becoming an adult.

You also continue to put others before yourself. Even though that truly does frustrate and worry me sometimes, I know that it makes you feel better by making sure that people are OK. But just know that I’ll be here making sure that you are OK, too. Your kindness shines through whatever you do. People time and time again have come up to me telling me how wonderful you are, and how you always have a smile on your face. You made me realize that that is what I want in life: to make others happy, and also be loved in return.

You make everyone feel wanted and special. That’s truly a great gift. You have been through so much, but continue to push past any obstacle that falls into your path. I am constantly surprised by your strength and perseverance. Your wisdom and intelligence are something that I strive to achieve in my lifetime. Though, I know that I cannot be you, I can be the best version of me. And that’s something you taught me among a lot of other things. So, this is my letter to you. Thanking you. Appreciating you. And most of all, just telling you how much I love you.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
