A letter of imminent suffering and sadness.

To my best friend and side chick:

Whenever I saw any clickbait that had the words “best friend” and “long distance”, I always ignored them because I never really imagined that those articles would be applicable to us. Now that you’ll be across an entire ocean and in a completely different continent, I realized how our friendship will be altered for now. You can’t Ryan-Gosling-from-the-Notebook pick me up and laugh at my screaming, and I can’t make you eat spicy food and make you shit yourself. But I vow that even though I can’t give you tangible pain. I will still be the best damn friend you have.

I will send you FilthyFrank videos every day and force you to watch them. If you don’t, I will send blood curdling selfies every hour. At 4 in the morning on the day of your exam, I will purposely send you text messages saying “Hi”. I will send you letters and mail packages and you will have to wonder if I sent you a lovely note or adult toys. I will make your life just as miserable as it has been when we saw each other each week.

There will be days when I will miss you and miss torturing you, but knowing that you are pursuing what you want makes me happier. I look forward to the day you can threaten to pick me up and throw me out on the street again. I hope you have a kickass time and bring me back food like you promised.

Stay safe and come back soon... (wipes away tears)

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.
