To my beautiful mother,

Thank you. Thank you for being my best friend, thank you for showing me God’s love, thank you for laughing with me, crying with me, fighting with me, thank you for always knowing what to say when I can’t seem to find the right words, thank you for loving me.

Momma, you are the strongest woman that I know, you have a heart of pure gold, a smile that can light up any room, and an endless supply of love for me. From teaching me how to write my name, to teaching me how to apply for college, you have always been my number one girl and my go to.

Thank you for picking up the phone and giving me advice on all my silly problems. Thank you for not getting mad when I don’t always do what I should do, and thank you for always reminding me that you will always love me no matter what I do. I don’t thank you enough for what you do for me, for coming to all my soccer games, for dropping anything to help me when I’m in a pinch. Thank you for looking for any excuse for me to come home every weekend. Thank you for helping me pick out my clothes all the way to senior year. Thank you for teaching me that money doesn’t always bring happiness and that it’s better to be rich in love rather than rich in money with no love.

Now that I’m off at college, I still know that you are just a phone call away and no problem is too big for you to fix, you always say that we are your gifts from God, but truly you are the gift from God. So, thank you for picking up whenever I call you to talk about the Bachelor, thank you for FaceTiming me every chance you get, for sending me silly letters in the mail. Thank you for filling up my gas tank every time I come home, for texting me 24/7, and for calling just to talk about nothing.

But most of all, momma, thank you for sharing your love with me every single day. I pray that one day I will be half of the mother that you are.

Love,

Your grateful daughter

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
