To The People I Graduated With: One Year Later

To The People I Graduated With: One Year Later

To my former classmates:

It's been a year since we closed the door to the thing we call high school. Do you remember this time last year as we were preparing to graduate? There are countless memories of happiness, laughter, and sometimes even tears. (Field day brought a lot of emotions forward.) I miss you guys. I look back at photos and smile, and sometimes even wish to be back in the same moments again; to relive those moments one more time.

I miss you guys.

I remember so many of our teachers telling us to soak in all the memories we could possibly hold onto because this time goes by quick. All of them were right. Time and time again we were told to have fun and make memories, and I would like to think we did just that.

Although we might all be home for breaks, some things just might not be the same. We've all changed and matured into amazing women, and it's always great to see just how successful each of you are, even if we are not on the same paths as we used to be. I look back and remember all the countless memories each of us made with each other and I'm so incredibly grateful for the time we got to spend with each other.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and I can't wait to see some of you again this summer! As for the class of 2017, I wish you all the best, and I hope you enjoy the "lasts" of your lasts of high school. Although it's almost over, make sure you enjoy the remainder of these moments, as they are precious, and you can't ever get them back.

Love,

A Fellow Classmate

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.
