A Love Letter To My Nike Shorts, Who Never Let Me Down
Taylor Ashore

Dear Nike Shorts (Norts),

Thank you for being there for me during the good and the bad. During my trips to my gym and my 8 AM classes, you've always been there to lend a stylish hand.

We've had some good runs and bad runs (literally) and we've had some of the best and worst first impressions. From showing up to my early morning classes with you to proudly wearing my Norts at Block, we've been through the best and worst of times.

You're friends with my Birks, Chacos, and gym shoes, so I never have an issue picking out a pair of shoes to compliment you well. Hats are a perfect addition to the look, but on good hair days, we look even better together.

Thank you for pulling all-nighters in the library with me and not being afraid to be seen in public two days in a row.

I'm sorry for hiding you under my oversized t-shirts sometimes, but you've been able to appearances in my cross country meets so you've had your chance to shine. There's a few of you I wear more than others but know that I love you all the same.

You've matched with all of my shirts, no matter what school I've gone to or what tee I was wearing that day. Thanks to your rainbow of colors, I've never had to debate on what color to buy.

You've always been there for me, and I hope you think the same about me. I've tried to give you a good home and keep you clean and happy, making sure to never leave you behind after a night at a friend's. I make sure to take you out frequently and absolutely never be ashamed of the bold style statement you make.

I will forever be grateful for your comfort, your colors, and most of all, your ease to get me between the gym and class. You will always hold a special place in my heart and my closet.

With lots of love,

Taylor

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.

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.
