A Letter To The Girl My Brother Marries

Dear Future Sister-in-law,

First of all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for obviously being one of the main reasons my brother is smiling so much. All I truly want for him is for him to be happy and successful. It feels completely unreal to think about the day I will be sitting at his wedding, celebrating your love and you becoming a part of our family. I know my brother and while it may sound cliche, he honestly deserves the best. He has watched me go through more heartache, with probably many more to come than anything and would never hurt a girl in any way. Many girls don't understand the hurt that their brothers have caused for some girls and I am proud to say that my brother is definitely not the person to do that. While you already may know these things, I want to reinforce the most important things of marrying my brother...

Welcome to our crazy family. Family is the most important part of my brother's life and I am certain he picked you because you both have that in common. Welcome to our family birthday celebrations, annual Christmas Eve party and very fun weddings. I really pray that you love this family as much as my brother does.

Please spend your money wisely. Ever since my brother got a debit card, I have heard countless complaints from my parents of him spending his money on pointless things. You better be a saver, or else your money probably has no chance.

Know that your future children will probably be the luckiest children in the world because my brother is the most caring person to children. If he was in my field, he would most likely have been a pediatric nurse. Also know that your children will be lucky because they will have the most caring aunt to help guide them along with the most caring grandparents. While right now, we aren't rushing that day, we still all can't wait to take part in those special moments with him and you.

Even though we may not have crossed paths yet, I know I will love you already. I cannot wait to meet you and call you my sister.

See you soon,

Your Favorite Sister-in-law

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
