An Open Letter To All My Friends

For all the people I will never forget.

An Open Letter To All My Friends
David Flynn

Throughout my life, I have come across many people who have a great impact on my life. They are people who I can rely on, people who I created amazing memories with, they are people I call my friends. Without these people in my life, I would probably not be the outgoing spirit I am today. I would not be as happy as I am without you guys. So here it goes, everything I have to say to all my friends:

Whether we talk on a daily basis, once every few months, or not at all; please know I still think about you and all the great times we had/have. I wonder how you are doing at school, work and just life in general. I think about the life you are building for yourself and hope you are living the life you deserve. You were and still are an important part of me and you are nothing I will ever forget. Whether we left off on bad terms or drifted apart, for whatever reason, you are still my friend.

Thank you for supporting me through stages of my life when I needed an extra boost of confidence. Thank you for making me feel free and myself whenever we were together. Thank you for being an escape from reality or the person I need/needed to vent to when reality got tough. Friends are meant to lift you up when times get hard. Thanks for being able to relate to what I have going on in my life, that way I don't feel like I am the only one.

I want you to know I am always going to be there for you no matter what. When you feel lost or alone, please know there is someone who cares for you and wants what’s best for you. Please know I do not care how long it has been since we have talked, I still love you and the person you are becoming. I treasure you and the relationship we have because that will never be lost.

Life is a rollercoaster, so how can you enjoy the ride when there is no one to enjoy it with (cheesy quote, I know). I cannot go through life giving up on friendships I have. Life is too much fun and too short to forget a person who was a monumental part of me. Thank you for being a part of the rollercoaster called life with me (yep, there was another one). Without you, I honestly don’t know how I would survive. Thank you for being a special part of me.

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.
