A Letter To My New Friends

Thanks for making college my home away from home.

A Letter To My New Friends

To my new friends,

I can't believe how easy it has been to build a relationship with all of you. Though it has only been a semester, I could not imagine life without each and everyone of you. I never thought that meeting all of you would be so life changing. The support you give me is incomprehensible. No matter how stupid I am, you all still love me and you are not afraid to tell me that I messed up. You are not scared to be one hundred percent real because you know that even if I don't want to listen at first, I will eventually. It is such a blessing to have that.

I really never thought that I would/could find friends that love me and care about me just as much as my friends back home do, but I did. Thank you for letting me crash on your couch when I was heart broken and just needed to cry my eyes out. Thank you for stopping everything you were doing to make sure I was okay. Thank you for going to endless meals with me so I do not have to eat alone. Thank you for listening to my ENDLESS boy problems and have helping me realize who is good for me and who is not even close to being good.Thank you for letting me stay in your room when I just was too lazy to walk home. Thank you for caring about me when I was sick. Thank you for singing at the top of our lungs to our new and old favorite songs. And thank you most of all for helping me see that the me I am is beyond good enough.

I want all of you to know that even though I might not say it enough; I am so blessed to have you. I love you so much and I can not wait to see what college (and the future) has in store for us. I cannot wait to see you fall in love. I cannot wait for all the pizza nights, movie nights, and parties we have still to experience. I cannot wait to wake up and talk about our weird dreams. I cannot wait to wake up from a text from you asking me to come over and tell you all about my night. I cannot wait to be your shoulder to cry on. I cannot wait to love you and support you just as much as you have love and supported me.

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.
