An Open Letter To My Long Distance Friends

Hi guys, I miss you.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Friends
Natalee Hanway

Hey guys, I miss you. I miss getting up in the morning and asking you if I look stupid (English majors have trouble dressing themselves). I miss walking to get fro-yo with you. I miss staying up late and talking about boys and how stupid they are. I miss you.This year has been ridiculously hard, not just because of school, or because of people being more stupid than normal; it's hard because you're not here.

Don't get me wrong, I understand and I get why you both had to go your own respective ways, but I totally almost tear up when I think about you guys. We spent quite a bit of time together, and I love seeing you post things and comment on Facebook and Instagram.

I love hearing about your History of Rock and Roll class, and seeing pictures of you and your boyfriends, but I miss not being the one you came home and talked to about them. You both are so positive and such warm souls that your absences are felt by everyone who knew you.

From golf practice to theater try-outs, you both made things so much easier to deal with. Neither of you ever judged me or my moodiness, you were always there when I need someone to laugh or cry with, and never failed to roll with anything life threw your way. I miss you guys so freaking much.

So please, continue to post and like and comment on things; continue to snap and text. I love you guys and always want to hear about your lives and new things that are happening to you. I love seeing you, visiting you or FaceTiming you (which we need to start doing).

So even though you're both hundreds of miles away, I will always love you, and I will always like those random pictures you get tagged in by your mom or whoever else. Because you both are stuck with me. I may be crap about texting you as often as I should, or snapping you back promptly, but I'd totally get in a car or plane and be there in a heartbeat.

Love you both, and see you soon.

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

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.

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

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.
