A Letter To My Best Friends
By: Maureen Logan

Dear best friends,

Thank you. Thank you so freaking much for being everything that you are, you are my clone but yet you have so many unique differences than me at the same time. Without you life would be so unbelievably boring and bland, even though there’s a whole lot of nights where we are just sitting in the car waiting for plans to magically appear, that rarely do, you still make it that time 100x better than being alone. Thank you for being fake “boyfriends” because we are independent women who don’t need a man (but really we just can’t find boyfriends). Still, a Valentine Day spent with you is one I will always cherish because our movie nights, girls wine nights, and date nights are unbeatable.

Thank you for telling me that I look good when I freak out and decide I don’t want to go out because I have no party clothes and I don’t want to put on makeup. And then, thank you for telling me I look like a homeless person and should really start wearing clothes that I didn’t self- proclaim gender neutral. Thank you for just hanging out, helping me with errands, going to get food, because all the time I am able to spend with you is amazing. We get in fights like sisters and yes I admit sometimes I can be bossy/mean but you still love me, and I love you for that. And thank you for saying the hard facts to me that I don’t want to accept, and being there when I have fallen short.

Thank you for always making me laugh when I need it, or at least letting me laugh at you because of some stupid thing you did one time ages ago and I won’t let you live it down. Thank you for being so awkwardly weird with me and accepting me no matter how weird I get. And trusting me enough to have the most ridiculous videos of you singing and dancing on the kitchen floor because you know it brightens any bad mood of mine. Thank you for dancing around like idiots, being incredibly embarrassing, doing squats down the hallway, and just talking to me constantly throughout every day. Thank you for screaming “hello” with me in the car as if we are actually better than Adele and everybody at the red light wants to hear us sing the high note. Thank you for being sneaky little bad role models and making me go out of my comfort zone and live a little bit on the crazy side, and for tagging along with me when I have crazy last minute ideas.

But most of all, thank you for always being there. You are the only people that I can tell literally anything and everything to and I would be nowhere in life if I couldn’t talk to you every day. Please stay in my life forever, because I couldn’t live without you, you are one of the best things to ever happen to me.

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have you, so thank you so very much to my best friends.

I abso(freaking)lutey love 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. 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.
