A Letter to Old Friends

There are some friendships that were doomed to end once you get your HS diploma.

A Letter to Old Friends

As you grow older, go to new schools, farther away from your home, your old high school friends begin to drift away slowly. Of course, it all really depends, you could always keep that friendship burning, as if you truly wish to be friends with that person, all it takes is communication here and there. This is a letter to those friends whom I have grown apart from, as I have made new ones where I study now.

Dear old friends, remember in our high school years? When we used to say we would be best friends for life, or always there for each other? Boy that has changed... I don't think we meant to drift apart, despite the closeness of our friendship in our high school years, it happens to everyone. There are always going to be friendships that you basically only have because you see that person every day, you don't exactly see each other outside of school, except for those occasions where preferred friends were not able to hang out. Which sounds horrible, but most of us know its true. I loved being close with those whom this letter is directed to, I cherish our memories, our jokes & laughs, and I can promise you I will never forget them ever. Friendships in high school either last a lifetime or last a few remaining years, it is just the sad truth. There are times I miss the people whom I have drifted from, who I don't communicate with whatsoever because the friendship was seemingly finished just as we threw our caps into the air on graduation. It just means maybe our friendship was temporary, which is basically true. We saw each other every day, we were essentially thrown into friendships, not expecting what would come from them.
Thank you for those years though, I wish all of those people a great life, with more people whom they will have great memories with, and the best of luck to their futures.

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.
