You don't destroy the people that you love.

Dear you,

I could refer to you as a variety of self-inflicting names: “loser, jerk, low life, cheater”.Out of respect, I will avoid doing so.If you haven’t figured it out yet, you’re not exactly at the top of my “favorite people” list and quite frankly, you never were.Your hurtful actions have created conflict in my best friend’s life; you’ve hurt her emotionally in more ways than I can count.

With every chance that she gave you, she slept further and further away from her true self and into the vicious clasp of your wrath.

She would be gleaming with excitement to have you come visit her at school, but you would never show.I caught the change in her voice, the dark bags below her brown eyes.I noticed how she stopped taking such good care of herself; she was focusing on the health of her family. She was dying inside, and you were the culprit.

So tell me, how was it staying up with her all hours of the night while she was crying? Are you in disbelief? What was her reaction to all of your surprises? I’m not referring to the screen shot of you messaging other girls either. What she was going through, I was going through it all with her. Her sadness was my sadness, her happiness with my happiness.

I will never agree that she, one of the most caring people that I know, ever deserved what you put her through. I resent you for hindering her perception of love. She never deserved to feel like she was burdening you when she was looking for your encouragement after a long day.

Your malicious actions will not go unpunished. I full heartedly promise that karma will find you and consume the deepest part of your soul. She will continue to rise and shine without you around to weigh her down.

My best friend is an intelligent young woman with a bright future and a big heart.You took advantage of her forgivingness and her ability to put everyone before herself.Someday, a great man will treat her how she deserves, with deep admiration and great appreciation.

My best friend deserves a guy who looks at her confidently.
My best friend deserves a guy who will speak highly of her for her intelligence and beauty.
My best friend deserves a guy who can grow with her and support her ambitions.
My best friend deserves a guy who boasts and brags about her.
My best friend deserves a guy who wants her and only her.

She’s always been out of your league anyways. Oh, and if you’re wondering how she’s doing, she’s great.

Sincerely,
Your ex-girlfriend's bestfriend

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.

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.
