4 People Every Senior Needs To Thank Before Graduation
Mikayla Poindexter

Graduation is right around the corner for high school seniors, and with that comes writing a lot of thank you notes. These last couple of months are going to very hectic and you'll have many things to do, but just don't let these 4 people fall through the cracks.

1. Your Parents

For 18 years your parents have driven you to every school function, every track meet, every football game, and everything else you ever wanted to do. They have fed you and cared for you and now you're leaving them to make your own path.

Odds are this is harder for them than it is for you. So, make sure they know they are appreciated.

2. Your Siblings

Your siblings have also always been there to support you, even if they didn't want to be. Your parents probably dragged them to every event they had to go to, or if they were older than you, your parents probably turned them into your chauffeur.

Thank them for being people you can look up to and for always being someone you can go to with even the smallest problems.

3. Your Teachers and Coaches

Every day your teachers left their families and children to make sure other children had an education and means to do what they love. Most of them end up spending more time with their students then their kids, so they start to love their students as if they were their own kids.

Watching you grow up is hard for them, even though you don't think it would be. They have watched you grow and have had just as much impact as anyone in shaping you into the person you are today.

4. Your Friends

These are the people who have stuck by you through the good, bad, and ugly, and for the first time in years, you likely won't be seeing each other every day. Thank them for always being there for you and for always offering a shoulder to lean on. Most high school friends lose touch no matter how hard they try not too, so make sure you thank them while you still have the chance.

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.
