First off, you guys are amazing. Secondly, I am so thankful for you both, and your loving and caring ways. You have made your son into the genuine and kind-hearted man he is today. Most of the remarkable qualities he has are simply because of you two. So here’s a big thank you for all the things you’ve done over the last 19 and a half years.

Thank you for teaching your son manners.

He doesn’t have manners only with me, but every person he comes in contact with.

Thank you for showing him how to love, and what it’s supposed to look like.

You guys have shown him over the last 19 years what love is supposed to look like, and now he knows how to love the right way.

Thank you for letting him date me.

A big thank you for that one because I have a gut feeling I’ll be around for a while.

Thank you for making me feel like family.

Whether it's inviting me to your family’s Christmas parties, or teasing me, thank you for always making me feel welcome and loved back.

Thank you for showing him it’s okay to show your feelings.

At first he struggled, but eventually he learned sometimes you have to show your feelings whether you're mad or happy.

Thank you for teaching him respect.

That’s something, not a lot of males or anybody for that matter, have today.

Thank you for raising him in the Lord, actually, a huge thank you for that one.

Nothing is better than loving a man who loves the Lord.

Thank you for showing him how to open the doors for any female, not just me.

No matter where we go, the closer to the door we get the faster he walks to open it for me and whoever else is behind us.

Thank you for showing him the right way to treat a lady.

With respect, kindness, caring and gentle ways.

Thank you for teaching him how to take care of himself.

He knows how to iron a shirt, thank God because 90 percent of the male population can’t use a washer or dryer or even an iron. He knows how to feed himself when Mom isn’t there to cook.

Thank you for teaching him the meaning of family.

Family is always there when no one else is.

Thank you for showing him the value of hard work.

Working hard to accomplish a goal, or working hard labor, both are beneficial to every man.

Thank you for showing him how to trust.

Trusting someone is hard, so thanks for showing him sometimes you have to take a risk and trust someone.

Thank you for believing in him.

Believing in him shows him that he can do anything if he just believes.

Thank you for (trying) to teach him how to be patient.

Although he has trouble being patient, he does try.

Thank you for teaching him how to be generous.

Sharing is caring, especially with fries on date nights.

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.

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.
