I wouldn't be able to do life without you.

A Letter To My Forever Friend Who Is Far Away

You are 1,051 miles away from me, but little do you know, you are always with me because distance got nothing on us. Even when we don't talk for weeks at a time, I know you're always just a call or text away. I know you'll answer within minutes and I know I'll never be a bother. Same goes for when you call me.

Whether I'm having a bad day, a good day, or just need a laugh I know I can always count on you to be there for me. People often say retail therapy works for curing sadness, frustration or just pure bliss but I believe best friend therapy is even better. Talking to you is all the therapy I need because you brighten up my days like no other. Facetiming you on the daily just talking about our days, our school work, our drama, gossip and life fortunes always makes me happy. I love hearing about you thriving in school and at life but I always never mind hearing about the troubles you go through because I am there to help you see the better side of everything. I am here for you no matter what.

You are the most beautiful, talented, kind and caring person to have ever crossed paths with me. We met in the sixth grade and since then, not a day goes by where I don't hope and wish for your life to be as kind to you as you are to me. You are brave and courageous when it comes to living life. Before I met you, I was a shy little girl who never talked to anyone, never put myself out there, and always played life safely. You changed my life for the better. You brought out the fun, wild side of me that was begging to be seen. I kept you sane, and you kept me wild. Together we fit perfectly.

You're the only person who can read my face or mind without me saying any words. You know how I feel and what I want before I do. You give me the best advice, although I often don't listen to it (HAHA), it doesn't matter because you do the same thing. Even though we don't go to the same college, I hope all the friends you have made and make will treat you the way you deserve. You deserve the world and I hope you get it. You are perfect the way you are so don't ever change.

They say once a friendship last seven years it's meant to last a lifetime. I knew before our seven-year mark that it would last a lifetime already. You are the best friend I could have asked for or even imagined and I can't thank you enough for staying in my life all these years. You are not only my best friend but my sister.

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.
