Dear BFFs,

First off, thanks for always being there - even when you're not. We may not see each other as much as we used to, but I know I can always count on endless amounts of group texts, phone calls, and FaceTimes whenever necessary.

Thanks for the constant life updates on school, boys, and college friends. Our separate lives away from each other may seem foreign at times but I know we all feel as if we're sharing the same experiences together, even if we are not all physically there.

Thanks for all the adventures we have had together and all the adventures we will undoubtedly embark on in the future. No matter how much time we spend away from each other, nothing ever changes once we're reunited again.

Thanks for the infinite inside jokes that no one else understands, and the infinite laughs that accompany them. I'm thoroughly amazed that we all happened to stumble upon each other, because I'm convinced no one else in the world shares our strange sense of humor.

Thanks for sharing the love for the same movies and TV shows, and for always making references to our favorite ones. Let's face it, we are basically the cast of Sex and the City.

Thanks for the High School Musical marathons during every major school break. They will never, ever get old.

Thanks for the lazy nights spent sitting in the basement, playing card games, and eating Mango Peach Salsa.

Thanks for sticking around as we grew out of our awkward stages together - even though sometimes I'm convinced our lives may all just be one prolonged awkward stage.

Speaking of which, thanks for sending random reminders in our group message of awkward moments we've endured together. Those always account for a good laugh.

Thanks for the five-hour-long phone calls because we've been away from each other for too long.

Thanks for being there through the bad times and the good times alike. You are constant encouragers, shoulders to cry on, and the biggest supporters.

Thanks for being real. I know I can always count on you to let me know when I'm overreacting, when I'm being irrational, or when I'm about to make a not-so-wise decision.

Thanks for every midnight snack, midnight drive, and midnight conversation. Those are memories that can never be topped.

Thanks for being my people. I don't know what I would do without your crazy, thoughtful, fun, hilarious, wonderful selves.

Thanks for a friendship that I know will last forever, even as we go our separate ways. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, "dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."

Thanks for always giving me a reason to be excited about coming home.

Basically, thanks for doing life with me even from miles away. Even a thousand miles can't keep us apart. Now get your butts home so we can hangout.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
