Dear Younger Brother,

The biggest blessing I have been given in my life was the gift of being your older sister. From the moment you were born, you became my best friend.

To say I am proud of you would be an understatement. You never fail to impress me with your talent and maturity. I am amazed by the amount you have accomplished and I am honored to have been a witness of your success.

The hardest thing is watching you grow up, but you are growing into a phenomenal young man. You have the kindest heart and treat everyone with an enormous amount of respect. You are extremely intelligent and driven and I know your future holds so many opportunities for you.

Thank you for making me laugh and smile whenever I'm sad and for being the most supportive little brother in the world. You make every day better than the next and you always keep a smile on my face.

There is nothing I love more than watching you grow in your faith and utilize God's gifts to benefit the well being of others. I beam with pride every time I hear someone say how genuine of a young man you are.

I will forever picture you as my baby brother and in my mind, you will never grow up. But, I know that is not reality, so I pray that God blesses you with the most amazing future.

As much as I want you to find a wonderful girl to steal your heart, I will always be protective. She better not break your heart or she will have to deal with me.

I cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in your life and I will forever be by your side. I will be there for the laughter, tears, heartbreaks and triumphs. Together, brother and sister, it will forever be us against the world. You are my partner in crime and my best friend.

I love you forever,

Your Big Sister

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.
