Paramedics, Firefighters, And Police Officers: Thank You
Katie Worthy

To the police officers, firefighters, and paramedics:

Thank you to all those who serve our community. I appreciate everything you do and will do to serve the citizens of your town. Thank you for risking your life to save ours.

To the police officers: Thank you for coming to help us when we get in a car accident. Thank you for coming to help us when our house gets robbed. If it weren't for the help from the two officers back in 2009 when my house got robbed, those two fools would've gotten away. So, thank you. Thank you for being there for me and my sister when we got in a car accident last year two days before Christmas. Thank you for being so patient with us and for keeping us calm. Thank you for taking one of the hardest jobs out there just to keep those you love safe. I appreciate all of your service.

To the paramedics: Thank you for saving lives one day at a time. You busted your tail in school just to help others out. Thank you for rushing to bad car accidents. Thank you for helping those in need of getting to the hospital. Thank you for trying to get people stable. You are so awesome at what you do.

To the firefighters: Thanks for risking your lives just to save others. Thanks for getting that scared cat out of the tree. Thanks for going to car accidents and helping when needed. Thank you for putting others needs above your own.

So, thank you to all of those who diligently serve our community. For the families out there that have a family member that are in one of these professions, give them a big hug from me. I appreciate all they do. They always go above and beyond the call of duty. You all are heroes in my book!

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.
