A Thank You To My Best Friends Back Home
Maggie Steranko

Dear best people in the world,

You know you you are.

I also know that this open letter and thank you has been done a million times in a million different ways. While they all give valid thoughts that I can relate with, I find it important that I write my own thank you to you wonderful people. I have to add my own little spin and two sense into things because you both know how I need to share my opinion. Another reason why I love that you have put up with me for this long.

The first, and most important, thing I need to thank you for is always being there for me. We're are miles and miles apart, but no matter what I know I can count on you to listen to my crazy problems and rants about who made me mad that day. I never doubt, even when we don't talk for a week, that you have my back and always love me. It doesn't matter that we only see each other like once every few months during the school year, or even over the summer, we're still just as close as in high school.

I also thank you for being some of my biggest motivators and fans. Besides my mom, you are basically the people I know whose advice will be the best and the safest. I don't second guess your opinion because you have seen me through some rough times in middle and high school, so there is no judgement around here.

Thank you for visiting me when I can't since I am without a car. It means so much to me when you can come to Boone and meet my friends and live life a little bit like a Mountaineer, even if it is just for a day. I absolutely love having my friends here meet y'all as well. I talk about all of y'all to each other, so it is important that my worlds collide sometimes.

Thank you for understanding that I am busy, but that you are just as important as ever. You know that if I don't answer a phone call that I am not ignoring you or putting you off, but that I am busy and will call back later. And I know that you do the same for me. We live separate lives but are able to come together when we're home. It is a beautiful balance.

I truly can't put fully into words the love and appreciation I have for you guys and the light you continue to bring to my life. I was worried at the beginning of college that the distance would ruin our friendship, like it did some, but we have stuck together. You are my best friends, and I wish that we could be together as much as we used to be, but I am also glad that we're this close given the distance.

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.
