A Poem For My Friend Who Transferred
Brianna Wiles

So you transferred. And left me here to fend for myself, to find that new friend who's kind of like you but will never replace you. To open up to someone new kind of like you

So you transferred. I had a lot of emotions about it. Angry, sad and happy. Knowing it was for your best interest, I was still emotional! They were all mixed into one. Contemplating if I should text you or not.

So you transferred. I’m angry because I had to find out about it. Knowing you were leaving me here. To do what we do alone, without you. To laugh at that one girl alone. To rant about that boy alone. To complain about waking up alone. To complaining about you not getting sleep alone.

So you transferred. I was sad because you are my ride or die. You are the key to our three people ring. The fight through it all. The silent but deadly one. The person with dope car and silly dad. The one my parents thought was a better influence on me than me to you. The one who got the award that we have to share now.

So you transferred. I was happy because I knew you need to go your own way this year. Had to find who you are. Be who you are. Do what you want to do. Going on a great path. Going to do bigger and better things. Following your dreams. Making you a better you. Fighting for what you know you have to do.

So you transferred. Thank you for being my friend. Hope to see you soon. Hope the new school treats you well. Hope you find that girl that's kind of like me but won't replace me. Open up to someone new like me.

So you transferred. I’m okay now about it all. And I'm really excited to see you grow there. Have fun! But don't do anything I would do! And most importantly, don’t forget about me!

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.
