A Thank You Letter To My Group Chat

"Yo, does your phone ever stop going off?"

A Thank You Letter To My Group Chat
Tyler Flannery

The constant sound of phone vibrations coming from the inside of my pocket—this can only mean one thing. We all understand the struggle of being in a group conversation with friends. There have probably been countless times where you have had to put the conversation on mute simply because of the outrageous income of messages that you received. But as annoying and as petty as these notifications may be, the reality is that this group chat means more to you than you might think.

Being a member of multiple group chats, I cannot say much more other than thank you.

Thank you for keeping the conversation going.

Nothing is worse than a quick and dying conversation. Thank you for never putting this conversation to an end, and thank you for always coming up with something new to talk about. As annoying as one of us may get, thank you for always dealing with the irritating and troublesome arguments that may occur sometimes. Also, thank you for saving my ass whenever I'm in an awkward situation where I would rather find an easy way to cop out of the conversation.


Thank you for appreciating my bad puns.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that most of the puns I tell are played out and probably not even a little bit funny. Thank you for laughing at them anyway. It only motivates me to tell even cornier puns. And also, thank you for telling your own corny jokes, just so that I don't have to feel as bad about the terrible ones I make. We're all in this together.


Thank you for helping me out when I needed it.

As funny and as stupid as some of our conversations may be, thank you for being serious when I needed you guys to be. Thank you for listening to my numerous rants about certain people and certain situations. Also, thanks for the great advice that you've provided me. And not only that, but a huge thank you for always finding a way to cheer me up if I'm pissed off about something. Squad up, am I right?


Thanks for basically being night-owls like me.

Sleep is important. But apparently none of us really care about that, right? Thank you for being able to have conversations with me no matter what time of day it is, whether it is at five in the evening or five in the morning. Having people to talk to when I'm looking to have some late night philosophical and deep conversations can be rough, but having this group chat has definitely made that burden much easier to carry.


And finally, thank you for being you.

Thank you for coming into my life and being the person that you are. Without meeting you and having you to talk to each and every day, I'm more than certain that my life would not nearly be as fun or interesting.

Thank you, friends. And I look forward to talking to you guys soon.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
