To you:

As I am a sucker for continuity, I will start this letter off the same way I did the last one. This will be the final one, should you care to know. It's been two or three weeks [a little over a year now] since you decided to unceremoniously throw all we had into an incinerator and burn it.

Am I bitter? No; I'm thankful actually. You finally made me see what I had been denying for two months now. You see, I've been suffering under the delusion that you were a nice person.

You see, in case you're not aware, you are cruel, manipulative, conniving, oversensitive, intimidating, and a gigantic and chronic liar. Oh right, that's why I fell for you- you lied! How could I forget?

Now that I'm not under the insane delusion that I love you, I can see what a web of lies you spun around us. Every word out of your mouth was a lie, and I have proof of that. That you're not a virgin? Lie. That you love me? Lie. That you're not a liar? Also a lie!

How could I know what's true, considering everything I once believed turned out to be false. It's called a best friend, you jerk. Next time think a little harder before telling two different versions of the same story to two girls. Newsflash: she and I are friends, so we talk. You even lied about your alleged demisexuality, considering you were so ready to kiss me but didn't give a damn about my feelings and tossed me out as soon as I started demanding respect.

Ah, I was just a naive girl, wishing for someone to love me. Then you showed up and I thought, what could go wrong? A sweet boy like him couldn't hurt me, there's no way! And to think I was afraid of hurting you. The thought nauseates me now since I'm the one whose heart is broken and you're the one who just gets to walk off.

You are like one of the fey. You supposedly can't lie but you bend the truth to your liking and use it to screw over the people dumb enough to confide in you. It was fine that you didn't want to date me, it was fine that you called it off, but after 3 months, over text?! You, my good sir, are what they call a coward.

I resent you for using me, I do. I'm not going to wish you good luck because I don't think you deserve it. Honestly, I hope you drop out of college and wander the streets. But, I am a nice person, so I'll just say good riddance. I never want to see you again, but I'm not going to curse you. You go do whatever it is you want to do with your life. So you wasted three months of my life, three months I'll never get back. This was a waste of letters, and you are a waste of oxygen.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
