Thank You Letter To Mama
Betsy Lucas

Dear Mama,

Thank you. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. You have helped me achieve many goals in my life, and you pushed me insanely hard to achieve some goals I did not know I even wanted to achieve. You have been my very best friend ever since I was a little girl and I can't thank you enough for all of the advice you have given me throughout my lifetime.

You were the mother and father figure in my life and raised me to be the best person I could have ever been. Thank you for always providing for me and making sure that I always had everything I could have possibly needed; and things I absolutely did NOT need, but you got it for me simply because you knew it would make me happy. I know it was pretty tough to raise such a headstrong person as I am. I won't say that we didn't have times where we butted heads like CRAZY, because we did, but we were always over it and planning our next shopping trip.

Thank you for always being there when I needed a girls day without my two brothers. I am oh so thankful for all of our shopping trips and mini vacays with you. You never told me no when I asked for time with just you. You always set your plans to the side and put me first.

Thank you for always taking care of me when I was sick or sad. There is no better cure for a cold or a terrible heartbreak like a hug from you. You are the best at holding me when I need a shoulder to cry on.

I am so lucky that God gave me YOU as my wonderful, smart, beautiful and loving mama. I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. I know I don't say it near enough, so here is to you, 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. 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.
