An Open Letter To The People Driving From The Party
Boise Weekly

To the person leaving the party,

Hey there! What is going on? That party was pretty awesome, wasn't it? I just have one question for you though. Where do you think you are going? I hope you aren't thinking about driving anywhere. Do you really think that you are in any way in good shape to drive?

If you just said, "Yeah!!!! Of course I am good to drive!!!!!" Get ready for a slap up side the head and think again. You have been drinking for the past couple hours and now you think that you are good to drive... Really?

Let me tell you what you are going to be doing if you start that car. You are putting a countless number of innocent people in danger because you are "good to drive." You are also putting your life in danger.

Imagine this: You start driving home because you only had like three or four drinks. While you are driving home all of a sudden there is a car that came out of nowhere and the next think you hear and see are police sirens and lights. They put you and handcuffs and put you in the back of a squad car and you have no clue what is going on. You soon find out that that you T-boned that car. The driver of that car was a 17 year old kid who was going to be the first in their family to go to college. They were going to go and play basketball at Duke. They are now paralyzed from the waist down and lost their scholarship to go to school. Now you ruined a dream and you have a fine up to $10,000, you are heading to jail for up to two years, and possibly longer because of other charges all of that because you were "alright to drive."

Please, if you still feel like driving, don't do it. Don't drive for all of the people that care about you. Your parents. Your siblings. Your best friend. You have no clue how much they will miss you if you were to die in an accident. Please for you, your family, your friends and your future. Don't drink and drive.

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.
