A Thank You Letter To My Momma
Tori Covington

Momma,

Thank you for everything you do for me. I know that is a broad statement, so lets dig a little deeper.

Thank you for the never ending support and love, having a mom who can be your mom and best friend is something special and i am so thankful that i can share it with you. Our Lorelai and Rory relationship is one for the books, i mean honestly how many times have we said we need to make a book out of our conversations?? From sitting on the couch watching hallmark Christmas movies to dancing to 90's rap music, our bond is one that will never be broken.

Thank you for always holding me to a high standard, but knowing my breaking point at the same time. You are the reason i've always pushed myself so hard in school to get great grades. No, it's not because you were breathing down my back pressuring me to get the A's, it was actually the exact opposite. Because you did not push and push i felt as if it was my job to make you proud, and in doing that i would make myself proud. Coming home to tell you i still had a 4.0 every 9 weeks and getting a huge smile and hug out of you meant the world to me.

Thank you for passing down your wisdom to me and making me into the person i am today. It is because of you that i am the way i am. When i am told i have a good head on my shoulders? You are the one i have to thank for that. From your endless words of knowledge to our shared love of literary classics, we get each other. Some of my favorite moments are ones where we are talking about something, or in a conversation with other people and we say the exact same thing at the same time, only to have the same reaction eye glance and saying of "Weird".

Thank you for being the best single mother out there, I may be a little biased but i think many people would agree. It takes a lot for a young women to raise a child the way you did. You put me above all others and made sure we always had what we needed and i am forever grateful for that. You are the hardest working person i know, and i hope people see you the way i see you. I can only pray that i will be half the women you are when i get older.

Thank you for being the best mom out there, I love you more than words can explain.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
