An Open Letter to My Best Friend

I love you and Thank You

Jan 16, 2017

I am here to thank you. Thank you so much for being there most of my life. Even when we weren’t “best friends” you were there. You held me through breakups, family drama, and even our own fights. We even held each other when we knew the other one was wrong.

Recommended for you

I just want to thank you for laughing with me all those years. We laughed at the funny things and the dumb things. I remember the fact that I changed your entire bio for your school account to make fun of you and we just laughed for three days.

In all reality I wanted to come here today to thank you for hanging on even through my depression. For holding me through anxiety attacks and talking me down from my automatic thoughts. Thank you for laughing with me and helping me be the person that I am today.

You have always been there and I love the memories that we have shared. I love laughing about all the inside jokes that no one else understands. I love looking back on our senior year and all the stupid Asian jokes I made at you and the teacher being confused. I love thinking about all the nights we spent talking to each other about love and heartbreak and our future.

I want to thank you for being there to give me an early birthday gift and say goodbye when I left. I also want to thank you for being there when I came home. It saddens me to be so far away from my one true love and best friend, but I know that you will always be here at the end of the day.

I am sorry that I have been distant lately I am just so busy with school. I know that it is no excuse, but I love you and I am trying so hard to be there. I know being so far has hurt us both tons and for that I am sorry, but I love you and you will always be the only person that ever gets me fully.

Lastly I want to say thank you for loving me, holding me, and going out of your way to see me. I miss you, but I know that it will all be okay in the end. I love you more than you will ever know and I need you in my life. I don’t say that enough, but I need you more than I need most people. I love you so so so so so much.

Sincerely, Your Best Friend

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
