A Letter to the People in my Life

No matter how close we are, you just need to know a few things.

A Letter to the People in my Life
Cassidy Downs

Hey you! I know, I may have known you for most of my life or maybe just recently we've become friends but there's some things I would like to tell you. I'll try my best to not make this sappy because as you may know, I don't like showing emotion too much. It's gross. I don't mind when you show me how you feel because I love you but, I don't like showing my emotions to you because, well, I don't know why.

Anyway, whether you've known me long or not, you've probably noticed I have a very dark sense of humor and you know I don't actually mean it 90% of the time. You also probably have noticed I'm pretty sassy. I'm sassy because I'm letting you know if you hurt me, I'll break you. I also love being dominate. Don't mess with me. With all silliness aside, I just really have to tell you a few things.

First of all, I really do cherish you. I really do enjoy our time spent together. I know you may think you know me but, depending how close you are to me and how comfortable I feel around you, I probably haven't told you everything or you haven't seen all my flaws. That's okay though, I'm sure I haven't seen all your flaws or you haven't told me everything. I'm sure we both have been through a rough time and sometimes not talking about it is the best for us both. Trust is one of those tricky things to figure out. But, if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.

I respect you. I respect who you are, who your other friends are, your political and religious beliefs, and I respect your space. I try my hardest to not make you mad even if we disagree. If you don't like something I've said or done, let me know. I'd rather talk about it like a mature person rather than have you hating me or holding a grudge.

Also, I've always wondered what do I look like to you. Not physically but, do you look up to me in some way or the way I look up to you? What do you think of me? What do you tell others about me? I don't know, I've always wondered that because your perspective of me is different than mine. I mean, I don't see flaws in you at all or maybe I just don't notice them.

Finally, No matter how long we've known each other, you're important to me and play a key role in my life. I can't thank you enough for who you are and everything you've done for me. Even if it was something small, I just want to thank you for it. I hope this has given you some sort of idea of who you are to me or how I feel about you. I don't know if I can say this enough but, thank you.

Sincerely,

ME

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
