An Open Letter To My Hammock

Because we all wish we were that average hammocker

An Open Letter To My Hammock

Dear Hammock,

I know some people might find me ridiculous when I say my hammock is my favorite thing I own, but its true. I do love you. You've always been there for me. Sometimes, I even consider you a best friend. Through my bad days and my long days, through the sunny hot summer days and the cool fall days.

You have always given me a place to nap whether it be in the middle of the quad or in the middle of a forest. You always are around with your ability to just cling onto my backpack, sometimes I can't even tell if you're there.

Any day I can hammock is an all around better day if you ask me. How much more could a girl ask for? Just a place to comfortably lounge around and rest, maybe even nap.

To be honest, I am really excited for the fall because my favorite thing is putting you up in the quad and slowly swaying in the wind as the leaves are changing colors. I don't feel like I'll be sweating away, but cooly resting easy.

You, hammock, have never let me down. You've alway been there for me from when I'm feeling down to when I'm feeling bored. You always give me opportunities for new adventures and always will give me a place to sleep at night. Where it be double and triple stacking on top of friends on the quad or going camping with friends, every time I take you out I have always had the most memorable experiences, from the cool fall days to the warm summer nights. I don't ever doubt you.

Best,

You're Average Hammocker

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.
