A Letter To My Two Best Friends

Happy Birthday

A Letter To My Two Best Friends
Rachel Stanislawek

To My Two Best Friends,

What are the chances that two of the most kind and loving human beings that I've ever met were born on the same day?

I can't think of the exact moment we all began to realize that we might have some sort of friendship beginning to brew. I recall roaming the hallways in fifth and sixth grade and waving to a few girls that I knew of, whom everybody always spoke very highly of. I remember going to tennis practice in middle school and always seeing a friendly face. I also remember running to get sushi after school every chance we got.

I love how we're all completely different. Honestly it's hard to find qualities we have in common besides our love for food and a good sale. But that's what makes it all work. The wine mom, the crafty person, and the joker all blend together to make a pretty nice trio.

We make it okay to be ourselves. There's no need to pretend, because the bottom line is we're all a little weird and that's okay. We are also apart of a pretty amazing friend group, which I'm insanely thankful for, and acceptance and unconditional love are what keep it alive.

At the end of the day there's no other people I'd rather vent to or go to Target with for no reason. The two of you are the definition of true friends. No matter what we don't agree on, or when we can't decide where to go for dinner, I know the world isn't going to end.

Happy birthday ladies, I'll see you at home soon. <3

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.
