Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To have been able to spend the time I have with you all, I am forever grateful. You all have taught me so much about not only myself but others, too. I have received and given so much love that I know I will always remember. You have given me a second family that is loving and accepting and I would not trade that for the world.

I am so, so thankful that I have had a place to go every week that even on my worst days I cannot wait to be. We have all been through so much but when we are together we allow each other to forget about everything going on. If a hug is needed then 15 will be given, and often tears are shed by all so one is not alone.

It has been such an amazing journey with you people, and I will definitely be telling my kids about you. I cried more at my last dance recital than my high school graduation and it kills me to think that next year I will not be able to go to the studio for class. It has been a privilege to be able to dance with such beautiful souls and share this part of my life with such a great group of people.

To the countless pictures, endless laughs, and perfect people that have been by my side. I love you forever. You will always have a special place in my heart and you can count on the tons and tons of visits next year and years to come. I will always be so grateful for everything you all have done, some things you may not have even been aware of. I know that every one of my dance friends will go so far and I can not wait to see you killing it. Thank you.

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.
