To The Roommates Who Became My Sisters

I can't imagine my freshman year without you two

I can't even begin to fathom that my freshman year of college is over. Everything got done on time and I pulled it off without turning into a complete and utter mess. This year was full of new people, experiences, hardships, triumphs, and laughs. To be perfectly honest, I couldn't have done it without my roommates.

I don't have any siblings, so I've never had to share a living space. Going from my own room to a triple seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. But somehow, you were both patient with me and you turned something I was dreading into something I loved going home to.

Our room has turned into my favorite place on campus. I know it isn't perfect. I'm still messy, and we're three people living in a room built for two, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love how our styles blended perfectly and you can see all of our personalities shine through all of our posters and paintings (My favorite thing ever is when people come in and tell us how much they love our room).

You two have become my rock(s). You've been there for me through the craziness of the year, the highs and the lows. You've seen me at my best and my worst, and you still love me. Not to be dramatic, but when you both moved out I felt like a piece of me went with you. Being in three different states is so weird. Going to bed without you two to chat with is so strange. Waking up to an empty room is what I've done for 18 years, but somehow, it feels different now.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but you two are the closest I have to siblings. Things weren't perfect all of the time. We had our disagreements and differences. But no matter what, I always knew we had each other's backs. I loved our spontaneous jam sessions and late night talks. Even though we won't live together next year, I fully expect to see you both often and I'll always make time to hear about your day.

What I'm really trying to say is thank you. Thank you for becoming such an integral part of my freshman year, and of my life. Thank you for helping me make big decisions (because you know I hate making decisions) and for being there for me when things didn't go according to plan. Thank you for turning our room into my comfort zone and my home away from home.

I don't know what I'm going to do when I don't get to see you two every day. Having to walk across campus to hang out is going to be an adjustment, but know that I'll always be down for movie nights, jam sessions, trips to Target, or just hanging out pretending to do work.

I don't know what the next three years have in store, but I know I can do anything with you by my side.

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.
