Why My Best Friend Is My Best Friend

Going to elementary, middle and high school with your best friend is always great. Having that person to lean on, to talk to, or just relying on that person is a great feeling. Going to different colleges and splitting apart is the hardest part. Driving to each other's houses or getting food together is what I'm used to, but not when I'm thousands of miles away.

My best friend promised me that even though we are not close to each other, we will FaceTime everyday. We will still gossip just like we normally do, and most importantly, I cannot stuff my face around people that do not know me well enough like she does. My best friend isn't even my best friend, she's like a sister to me. She completes my sentences, and she knows what I'm going to say before I even say it. She knows what to order for me at restaurant, and she even knows the types of guys I like. When I'm upset, she's upset. It's almost like we are twins, and I have no idea what I would do without her.

Her family treats me like I'm a part of their family. Believe it or not, I'm closer to her aunt then my own. I could without a doubt say I wouldn't be the person I am today without my best friend. She's my person, partner in crime, my saturday night date, and lastly, my sister. She would always give me her valid opinion, and even when I tell her something negative she always knows how to make light of the situation. Putting a smile on my face is not hard to do but as soon as my best friend walks in the room, I smile right away. I love spending time with her, and there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for her.

We think the same– whether it's deciding what to eat (which is what we mostly do the majority of the time), going shopping, or even hanging out. We both look at each other and just laugh. I've been through some difficult challenges in my life, and she has always stuck by my side, even when some people didn't. Her parents are two of the most dedicated, kindest, and funniest people I ever met. I couldn't thank them enough for all they have done for me. I stayed at her house for three weeks. Her parents cooked for me, I had my own room, and they took me to school. I don't know any kind of parents that would let me stay at their house for weeks and did not mind at all.

I spend holidays with my best friend as well, and I love feeling welcomed into such a great family. There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about my best friend's family. Her dad taught me how to ride a bike, and as I was riding the bike, I knocked over their mailbox. The best part is they weren't even angry. My best friend's mom was hysterically laughing the whole time. I felt awful and embarrassed, but everyone else was laughing. So, I did not feel too bad afterwards.

I just wanted to say thank you for being my best friend and never giving up on me. I know I can be difficult at times, but that makes us even closer. I love you to taco bell and back.

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.

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.
