My Best Friend Is My Brother

We all have that one person in our lives that really make a big impact on us. That person to me happens to be my little brother.

You are my absolute best friend. Now if you would have asked me who was my best friend when I was 10, I probably never would of said you. Now that might sound really harsh but that's the cold hard truth. It wasn't because I hated you or didn't love you, I think it’s because at the time, I didn’t realize what a loyal and amazing friend I’d have.

I want to take a moment and thank you for being my best friend. No one has ever come along in my life as 100% best friend quality until you. You are my best friend because you always make me laugh. Honestly, you’re the funniest person I know. You’re my best friend because you never sugar-coat anything when it comes to the truth. Sometimes I don't always see the way things really are when they are right in front of me and I know I can always count on you for telling me like it is. You’re my best friend because I envy the confidence you have in yourself and everything that you do. You’re my best friend because you’re you and I couldn't ask for a more truer person to call my best friend.

I want you to know that even though we fight sometimes, like all siblings do, that nothing will ever change the fact that you’re my best friend. I look up to you. Figuratively and literally. I’m so proud of the man you’re becoming. Although I don't get to see you grow up anymore first hand because I’m away at college, just know that I believe in you and if theres anything you ever need, I’m here for you 100%. I love you and thank you for being my best friend.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
