An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

To the person who lives 300 miles away and still continues to be my rock.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Haley Colton

To my person,

I truly believe God places specific people in your life at just the right time, and you are the perfect example. The greatest of friends have come and gone out of my life, but for some insane reason, you're still here. I'm so blessed to have deserved an amazing person like you in my life.

I could go on and on about all the positive impacts you've had on my life. You have the biggest and purest heart I have ever seen, and it's the reason why you love the people in your life so deeply. I have never watched someone work so hard to get to where they want to be.

You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You loved me when I was hard to love. You listened to me when I didn’t have a voice and let me cry to you when I was broken. Most importantly, you never gave up on me; that is special.

It's also very special to find another person who is the spitting image of yourself. It almost freaks me out when I think about how similar we are. Stubborn, too caring, extremely spontaneous and full of so much love and passion. We're each other's worst enemies, but I can't imagine being so brutally honest with anyone else.

You know me better than I know myself sometimes. You know what makes me die with laughter and the silly little things that make me so mad. You can tell through a text message when I am upset and then continue to do everything in your power to make me feel better. You keep me motivated on those days when I'm extremely unconfident and all I want to do is be lazy. You understand my little weird quirks and think I'm the most tired person in the world but you continue to stay by my side.

Wherever our futures take us, I know you'll be in mine every step of the way, and I wouldn't have it be any different. You fill my life with so much happiness, and I live for the moments when I get to spend short time periods with my long distance best friend.

You are the epitome of a beautiful human being. I hope that every person in this world has someone like you in their lives.

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.
