Dear Rebound,

I know that we don't really talk anymore, but I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for giving me my confidence back. I really don't think I would've gotten through my breakup if it wasn't for you. You were the one who helped me move on and made me realize what I deserve out of a relationship. You made me feel beautiful and wanted at a time where I couldn't have felt more unloved and worthless. The little things you did and said meant a lot to me.

Thank you for being strong when I couldn't be. You knew I was having a hard time, but you were there for me anyway. You cheered me up when I was sad and kept me busy when I started to think too much. You were my rock when I really needed someone to lean on. I will forever be grateful to you for that.

Thank you for coming into my life at the best possible time for me and the worst possible time for you. I know it wasn't easy for you to be with someone who was emotionally unavailable, which is why I understand why you decided to end things between us. I wish I could've been there for you as much as you were there for me. I will always wonder what would've happened to us if we met under different circumstances.

Thank you for, well, everything. For the hugs and for the kisses. For listening to me when I needed to talk and for sitting in silence when I didn't. For taking me out when I wanted to do something and for staying in with me when I didn't. Thanks for bringing me pizza, listening to the music I like, and watching Disney movies and going to the mall with me. I have so many fond memories with you and will always cherish the time we spent together.

But more than any of this, thank you for reminding me what it was like to be happy.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
