A Love Like Yours

A love that includes all emotions, but is always based on respect and trying to be your best. A love that I hope to have one day and a love that is real.

After almost 6 years of being together, it is time to celebrate a love like yours.

A love that started in a college dorm room with a card game and a movie night. Through 5 years of college, you learned each others strengths, weaknesses, dealt with struggles and triumphs and the dream engagement at sunset in a magical foreign land.

This past weekend, you were the princess and you took everyone’s breath away! You were glowing and walking out of that church, you got your happily ever after with your prince.

To the groom, my big brother, you have always been my hero. Seeing you fall in love has made me so happy because your heart is so big, you deserved to find someone who loved you just as much.

You two are the couple that I have looked up to and being able to stand up for you on your wedding day is an honor I am forever thankful for. I see you two as my older siblings who have shown me that the struggles of being an adult are worth it in the end and there is no one right way to happiness.

In the past year, you got a house, a puppy, new jobs and now wedding rings. I know it has been an emotional time for you both and those around you, but it was all worth it to see the smiles on your face as you became husband and wife.

I think everyone wants a love like yours. A love that includes all emotions, but is always based in respect and trying to be your best. A love that I hope to have one day and a love that is real.

If I haven’t said it enough, I love you and I congratulate you on becoming husband and wife! I send you love and prayers for a beautiful marriage. I can’t wait for what is ahead for you both!

Love,

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. 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.
