9 Reasons I Love My College Best Friends
Marisa Romano

1. They're so close all the time.

Everybody is within a short distance of each other. It makes it so much easier to get together and do things when they are only a flight of stairs away, or a building over.

2. Cars

You can find at least one friend who would be kind enough to drive you places. This past week, I was lucky to have friends to get me to and from the doctors twice. It’s more important than many people would think and I am so thankful for my friends.

3. Eating together

Every meal I can wrangle up someone to go with me. Whether it's having a set time after classes, or just on a whim texting “Hey do you want to go to Stucchi’s?

4. Classes together

It always makes the day go by faster when you have a friend in class with you. The looks you give each other during class that make class more entertaining. Plus you get a study buddy.

5. Fashion advice

Living on campus with a bunch of girls, you can find someone to give you fashion advice. Even if your roommate isn't the best with fashion, there are plenty of other friends to go to, to make sure that your outfit is perfect

6. Help you be less stressed

There is always someone available that can take you away from the pressures of real life to watch a movie, give a pep talk, or even just give hugs

7. Make sure you don’t do something stupid

Whether it’s staying away from certain people, or not eating food that's bad for you, friends are there to tell you no.

8. Experiencing new things

Friends are also there to help you try new things. Go to parties you never thought you would go to, or talk to different people. Join a club, or take a new class. They push you to be your best while getting a great experience and having a friend by your side.

9. Be there when you need them

No matter what I have people who would drop everything to help me in a time of need. To put off homework to give me a pep talk, or watch movies with me while I lay on their floor in a ball. To eat cookie dough and forget homework. It’s a constant support system that helps me get through the year.

One of the most important parts of college is the friendships you make. These friends will stay with me forever and I'm incredibly lucky to have them. Be sure to cherish your friends, and say thank you once in a while because friendships help the year be better.

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.

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.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
