To the person who loves me next

Marilyn put it best...

To the person who loves me next

"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

Please be patient with me. I've been let down time and time again. I let my guard down so many times just to be stomped on repeatedly by anyone and everyone I've ever let in. Now as Mr. Trump would like to say, the wall is built. I will be hesitant when it comes to tearing that wall back down, be patient.

I'm not easy to love. I'm difficult and stubborn. I don't like to let people in. I have awful anxiety and sometimes I get sad for no apparent reason. I'm not perfect. I'll notice and question the slightest change in your tone because everyone that gets close always leaves. I'll probably annoy you, piss you off, and stay stupid things that make you want to scream at me multiple times a week, maybe even a day, but don't because in five minutes (or less) I'll be begging to cuddle.

I love everyone else more than they love me. I've always been the girl who went the extra mile. DD making sure my friends get home. Buying ten billion Christmas gifts because I don't want anyone to feel left out. Chasing the tech bus down with Taco Bell's twelve pack for my friends. I always go the extra step for the ones I love even if they're not willing to for me.

Cherish my trust. Trust has become such a hard concept these days. Reassurance is never a bad thing. I'm going to be leery of your honesty because of my past. Use your actions to prove rather than your words. I am so understanding and willing to forgive, there is absolutely no reason I should ever be lied to. I truly believe the painful truth is worth way more than a comforting lie.

I appreciate the little things. I'm not hard to make happy. Ice cream, Chinese, "chicky" tenders, food of any sort really will make me happy. Little adventures whether it be to the grocery store, or for a walk on the break wall make me a happy girl.

I will love you with every fiber of my being. I'm not one to hold back. I can't half-ass love. I want to see you be the best that you can be, while you bring out the best in me. You'll never question my feelings because I'm one who always fears missed opportunities. The thought of losing someone unexpectedly and not being on good terms with them is something I truly cannot fathom.

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.
