I Love You, Mom

You are my best friend, and will always be my first best friend.

I Love You, Mom
Alfonzo

Dear Mom,

I hope you know how much I love and care about you. I may not tell you this all the time but I do, I truly do.

I know how hard you work and how much effort you put into making money to provide for me, more than for you. I know that you will always love me. I couldn’t imagine life without you.

You care about my safety more than your own.

You’re one of my best friends.

I know that no matter what I can share how or what I feel and why. You tell me how ugly clothes are on me, or how beautiful I look in other ones. I can count on you for anything. I can tell you gossip or secrets just because I so desperately need to share them with you.

You lecture me on looking for a better life, a life that is worth living worth. You remind me every day that going to college is for me, but honestly, it's for you so that our name can be something in the future and I am okay with that.

You’re my rock.

A shoulder to cry on, a familiar face and loving arms are everything I need in a time of sadness. I already know that I can share my feelings about anything to you, but just know that you are my constant support system. Someone to always be there for me when the worst things happen.

I always have good news to share and you are always happy for me in these situations. I know that no matter what I decide to do with my life you will 100% back me in my decisions.

You know me better than I know the back of my hand.

You know that I love turtles and Disney character Pluto. You know that if I had to choose, everything would be blue. You know that if I had to wear the color yellow I might punch myself in the face first. You also know how much I care about doing good in school.

I know that sometimes we butt heads, sometimes we disagree, and sometimes it feels like an uphill battle, but no matter what you are and will always be my best friend and the best mom in the world. My life would not be the same if you weren’t in it.

I will always tell you that I miss you, thank you, be careful and that I love you because that's all a mother needs. A mother like you deserves it even more.

I love you mom, with everything I have.

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.
