An Open Letter To My Friends
Myself

What would we be without good friends and great memories to shape us?

I am beyond thankful for the friends that have been placed around me over the course of the semester and for the way they've shaped me. Thank you for sticking with me through all of the laughs, all of the late night studying sessions, all of the hard times, and all of the times I've been difficult to put up with.

Thank you for experiencing all of the best and the worst that our local dining halls have to offer. Thank you for feeding my crave for fast food by lending cash to a broke college student even though I could've just gone to a dining hall. Thank you for jam sessions in the car, road trips, going to vertical on Monday nights, putting up with me whenever I distract you from studying, staying up until 4 in the morning with me. Thanks for always being there for me, thanks for always lending a helping hand and a friendly smile, but most of all thank you for just being a friend.

There's no one else I'd rather laugh at stupid pictures with, send dumb snapchats to, or text random messages to. If it was anyone else they'd think I was crazy, but you enjoy my random weird messages. Thanks for waiting up on me when I'm late to chapel to wait for me so we could sit by each other. Thanks for going along with my crazy ideas. I thank you for everything, you've given so much more than you'll ever know and I am grateful to have someone like you by my side.

Here's to good times gone by and to great times still to come.

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.
