To The Friends I'm Not With Anymore

An open letter to the once-best-friends that are no longer in my life, but I still care about.

Dear all of the friends that I used to talk with 24/7,

I love you still, I always will. It took me a loooong time to move on from you, but even then, my door's still open for you if you are willing to come back into my life.

Personally, it's because I do not like to give up on people, and also because I still wish you the best, even if we don't associate with each other anymore. I still pray for you, I love seeing you succeed, and I always wonder if you're okay and content deep down with yourself and your life.

I want to let you know that I am always here for you for absolutely anything and everything, even though you probably don't even need me anymore.

Personally, I won't ever feel like I'm enough for you, and sometimes I feel like I really need you, but then I realize that maybe I can survive and make do without you. I have other best friends who actually care for me, but sometimes I wish I could still consider you as one of my best friends.

I am fine without you, but I still care for you.

I miss you a lot, and I'm really sorry for taking our time together for granted. If only I knew better, I would've done so much better for you and treated you far better than I did back then.

I'm broken, and you are too. Everyone is, somehow. I wish I could be there for you again and help heal your brokenness, but I can only love you from a distance.

Please don't ever forget that I'm still willing to welcome you back with open arms and especially an open heart. I'll keep praying for you like I have been, and I hope in the future we can cross paths again.

You deserve the world, and I wish you the best and more.

Sincerely,

Mariel

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
