An Open Letter to My Sister

Dear Missy,

I know I don't really say it, but I look up to you in so many ways. I know there were a solid couple of years where you just simply didn't like me, and you asked mom to give me back to the hospital when I was born, but I'm glad that at least somewhat changed. I realize more and more as I get older how lucky I am to have you as my older sister.

Thank you for always being there for me, whether it's just to say hi and annoy you, or if it's when I need someone to cry to. I know I can go to you for anything and you'll always be there to listen, and I appreciate it more than I could ever say. Thank you for always being the person I can count on to be on my side. I know you always want the best for me, and won't hesitate to tell me what you think that is.

Thank you for having a better taste in clothes than me, so I can always find something I like when I steal stuff from your room. Thank you for always being there to annoy mom with me (sorry mom, we love you).You're basically my built-in best friend, which, even if you don't want it, you're stuck with me for life. I mean, who else are you going to annoy by randomly walking in their room, to then say nothing, and just leave. I'm so lucky to have you as my older sister, and I'm equally as lucky to be able to be so close to you. Thank you for being my sister, and for also being my best friend.

Love,

your annoying little sister

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.
