Thank You For All That You Did For Me

To the Friends That Got Me Through Freshman Year
Elissa Freemire

Freshman year would not have been the same without you. You have impacted my life so much in such a short period of time, and I can't thank you enough for that. As we get ready to start a new year, my anticipation grows to see you all again and to make even more memories. I have also grown anxious from the unknown. We all have changed so much over the summer, some spent the summer working, others traveled, and some won't be returning next week. Before we head into this next adventure, I wanted to let you know how much I truly appreciate what all you have done for me, so thank you.

Thank you for all that you did for me; thank you for always being my study buddies, even though we weren’t in the same class 90% of the time. Thank you for never letting me forget to call home, and for always listening to my pointless stories about my dog. Thank you for shamelessly eating a whole pack of Oreos and smothering them in peanut butter and marshmallow fluff with me. Thank you for always being down for a movie night, knowing that we would just talk through the whole thing. Thank you for always helping me decide which shoes to wear and for never commenting on my day three messy bun. Thank you for driving an hour to get the best donuts with me at one o'clock in the morning. Thank you for all of the random dance parties with the worst dance moves. Thank you for always screen-shotting my ugly snapchats, but never sending them to my crush even when you threatened. Thank you for never letting me go to the cafeteria alone, even if you had already eaten. Thank you for making the long drive for spring break totally worth it.Thank you for being my cheerleaders, no matter what I was doing.

Thank you for all that you taught me; thank you for teaching me that I don't have to pretend to be someone that I am not to fit in. Thank you for teaching me that it's okay to eat ice cream on waffles, and not only on Wednesdays. Thank you for teaching me how to play footsketball, and that I don't have to have the best hand-eye coordination in order to be a baller. Thank you for showing me that it is possible to make fun out of nothing. More than that, though, thank you for teaching me how to live my life to the fullest.

Thank you for always being there for me. Through the break ups, the breakdowns and everything in between. You made my freshman year one to remember and I can never thank you all enough for that. I would not be where I am now without you guys, even when we didn't see eye to eye (which was on me 90% of the time) you still showed me, endless love. Thank you for everything, and I cannot wait to start the sophomore year with you guys.

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.
