Chapter One

Like It Was Yesterday

The first time I saw Justin was six years ago on Friday October 12

“Are you okay?” asked Justin.

“My ankle! It hurts!”

“Well, let me help you finish this race, and then I will take you to the medics.”

He was the very first person to ever care for me. My first friend. No one has done anything like that for me since then. I quit the track team after that competition. I started going to every single one of Justin’s track meets to show my support for him.

I have since then found out what his favorite color, birthday, friends, parents, schedule, and hobbies other than track team. I am his biggest fan, and he is my closest and truest friend.

Today, I followed him after practice trying to build up the nerve to talk to him again. “Justin,” I called. He stopped, turned around, and froze. He obviously didn’t recognize me. I called his name again and took a few steps forward. He turned around began to run, so I ran after him and calling his name. He ran down his street and fell. I ran to check on him, but before I could, he got up and ran into his house. Seconds later his father came out and began cursing at me. I ran and hid before he could get to me. Why would he run away from me? Why would he send his father to chew me out? I thought we were close.

I will not forget what happened tonight. I am no longer his biggest fan, nor is he my best friend. I will not forgive him. He has stabbed me in the back. I will get him for making me look like an absolute fool.

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.

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.
