Thank you for being one of the most important chapters in my life.

An Open Letter To My First Love

Dear First Love,

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you or think about the times that we used to share and the memories that we made. I fell in love with not only you, but on top of that I also fell in love with the idea of us being together for the rest of our lives and the story that we could one day tell our children. The story that our children would one day tell our grandchildren and the legacy of pure true and unconditional love that we would leave behind for years to come.

We were going to be proof and inspiration that true love and happiness could still exist in the world. You know more about me than many people do; the good, the bad, and the ugly and you still managed to love me through my flaws. Throughout the twist and turns that we came across we still managed to somehow find our way back to each other.

You changed me for the better by pushing me in times when I couldn’t push myself. You changed my view of the world as well as my view of life itself. You challenged me as well as made me hate you at the same time. I worked ten times harder because you knew that I could make it. You made me laugh, you made me cry, and you sometimes made me want to leave you alone all together. You are the center of my memories because you were my first date, my first kiss, and my first life changing love.

It been a year and a half since we finally split and decided to move on but I still find myself hoping and praying that you are doing well. I pray that you accomplish every goal that you set for yourself, I pray for peace and stability in your life, and I pray that you happen to stumble upon a woman that will not only take care of you but also give you that unconditional love that you search for. That chapter in my life may have ended but the story itself will never change. No matter what you may face in life whether it is positive or negative I will always be there if you need help along the way.

I want to thank you for revealing a part of myself, for teaching me that I will be able to take the lessons that were learned from our chapter and apply them to other chapters in my life to come. Thank you for being there in times when I felt that I did not have anyone that I could lean on but you were always right there with your shoulder waiting. Thank you for instilling drive and ambition in me that I still use whenever I feel myself giving up. Overall, thank you for loving me in a time when I felt that no one else did.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-Girlfriend

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.
