A Letter To My Role Model

Thank you for being such a great example.

A Letter To My Role Model

It really doesn't matter if people know who you are. What's most important is that I know who you are and what you mean to me.

First of all, thank you for always being there for me and having a good head on your shoulders. If there's one person on the planet that I would look to when my life feels like it's in order, it's you. You always manage to have your life in order and it makes me think I someday might have mine together.

Let me tell you how amazing it is to see so much strength in a person. No matter how many battles and curveballs life throws at you, you always manage to make it through with a smile on your face. Sometimes I question how you're even still smiling.

You do so much for other people. I don't even think you realize how much you do. You give to others and help them with whatever they need and barely ask for anything in return. You're so selfless and I couldn't thank you enough for showing me how to care for other people.

That brings me to how patient you are. You have the patience of an angel and I envy it so much. You keep calm so well, and even if you do crack, you have every right to. But that rarely happens and I don't know how you do it. It's like a super power of yours.

There are so many things I look up to you for. I've learned so much from you and I couldn't thank you enough. Thank you for being such a fantastic role model.

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.
