A Message To Heaven

From someone who misses you every day.

A Message To Heaven
Huffington Post

Dear Lord, please watch over our loved ones in heaven. Take care of them as they once took care of us. Let them know that the world down here is lonely without them and that we miss them more and more every day. Although we know they are in no more pain and no longer suffering, we are in despair. As you are up there watching over us, we wish you were here with us to see all of our life's events and to walk by our side. We know that God had a plan for you to watch over us, but oh, how we miss you.

Every day we press ourselves with all the memories. We think of all the ups and downs, the smiles, laughs, and love. We know all the memories we shared and time we had together will never be enough. Some days, we smile at the memories, and on others, the tears because there will be no more. As we relive them in our heads, we are grateful for the precious time we had with you. Our lives are not going to be the same without you and that breaks our hearts. Our whole lives, you have been there for everything - the birthdays, Christmases, graduations, and everything else. How are we supposed to do all of them without you? They will never be the same.

The days pass, but the pain is still there, as if it will never go away. They say that time heals all wounds, but I do not believe that. It still hurts just as badly as the day you left. It hurts so badly, sometimes we find ourselves asking God why this had to happen to you, and to us, now. Why was it your time to go so soon? We just weren't ready to let you go yet. Sometimes while questioning this, we just need take a step back and realize that God had a greater plan for you up there with him. As much as it pains us for you to leave, we know how wonderful of a place you're in with no suffering, just everlasting joy. As you are walking down the streets of gold, we know that you are with us always.

We just want to thank you because we could not be the person we have become without you. You taught us to be kind and to treat people with a kindness that could not be forgotten.Your love was never ending. Every person you encountered in your life mattered and you greeted each with a warming smile. That will never be forgotten, as it lives on through all the people you touched throughout your life. Thank you for everything you have blessed us with on earth and in heaven. As you are guiding us through our life, just know you have had a great impact on us. We love you. We miss you. We will see you soon.

Sincerely,

Someone who misses you greatly.

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.
