A Thank You Letter To The Women In My Life
Samantha Johnston

Thank you to all of the beautiful women that have been in my life. I have been blessed with all of the people that have come into my life, but the women who have inspired me have created who I am. I cannot count how many women have been in my life but I can truly say that each one has made an impact.

I am truly grateful for all that you have done. Thank you for coming to my high school orchestra concerts when no one else could. Thank you for bringing your birthday party to me when I was sick. Thank you for dancing way too hard and laughing way too much. Thank you for teaching me lessons I would have not learned otherwise. Thank you for inspiring me to be unique.

I am unique; I am different. I am this way because of all of the women who have been a part of my life. These women have been my teachers, my family, my friends, people that I have lived with, people that I have worked with, and all of the others who have walked into my life. I am truly grateful for all of the shinning moments we got to spend together. Even the hard, painful lessons they taught me have allowed me to grow into who I am. They have showed me that when life is hard you can still find joy.

I have grown into a unique young woman because of their presence in my life. They have shown me that it is okay to be a little awkward, to show my wild side and be a little sassy. I have learned that being different is something people treasure. These women have taught me that I should not hide my differences but instead I should flourish in them. I should show the world who I really am. By doing this I can open up a whole new world of kindness and compassion. I can show others that they can be themselves in our world of sameness. They have allowed me to be different.

The amount of time during the relationship does not matter. All that truly matters is the impact that they have made. Women I have known all my life inspire me to be different. Some I may have only known for a week but the kindness they have shown me still inspires me to be different.

Even during hard times in their lives I still have been given kindness from them. They care so much and give up so much time to allow growth and happiness. They seem to always have enough time to show me joy or put a smile on my face. I have been blessed with kindness even when their life seems to crumble.

The moments we have shared will never be compromised. They will always stick out to me and remind me of where I came from. I am so lucky to have so many amazing women to share their experiences with me and allow me to share my differences. I hope that one day I can do the same for other young women in my life.

One day I will show others that being different is something to treasure. I will show them the kindness and compassion that these amazing women have shown me. No matter the situation of my life I hope that I can always find a way to show others their uniqueness. Until then, thank you to all of the women who have inspired me to take a chance and to show the world who I am. I am forever grateful for everything that you have done for me. Thank you.

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.
