An Open Letter To Our Best Friend
pxhere

This is an article to our best friend. This is an article for you, because you have done so much for us. Although we have only known you for a short period of time, we have grown to love you so much and the impact you have made on us will last for a lifetime. It all started with a random invite to a girl who we didn’t want to sit alone. You were quiet at first, but at the moment you spoke, we simultaneously thought, “Wait, she speaks? and she's hilarious!” Your unique brand of quiet humor is something we’ve never experienced before and one that we will always love and support. We understand that you don’t always want to be social, but when you are, it's enough to keep us going.

The moment we met you, it was a new beginning for us as much as it was for you too. We never would have expected to develop such an amazing friendship amongst the five of us. “We also never would have expected that such a quiet little nugget could take us on so many adventures." You’ve encouraged us to try many new things, like attempting to ice skate with a triple milk crate, getting us accustomed to country music, and even “instilling upon us so much knowledge about the Olympics that we never would have known without you." You know “how to make anyone’s day, even with the simplest comments and by just being around. You are the biggest ray of sunshine”.

“In the best friendships, everyone contributes something unique and you’ve added so much wonderful diversity to our experience." We hope you know that we appreciate you incredibly and have treasured every moment we have spent with you. We would do absolutely anything to make you feel good, because you consistently do the same for us. So as we sit here writing this for you, we want you to know “Rylie, our lives would not be the same without you and we love you! STAY WILD”.

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.
