A Thank You Letter To My iPhone

I can't imagine life without you.

Dear iPhone,

I really don’t know what my life would be like without you in it. I mean if I didn’t have you, how would I be able to Snapchat a picture of the extreme breakfast I just cooked, or take selfies with my friends, or have Google in the palm of my hand to answer any question I might need answered immediately. How would I entertain myself while waiting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, or sitting by myself on a plane?

You allow me to have endless apps for paying for things, so even when I left my wallet at home I can still buy some Dunkin Donuts. I can play pointless games that are only popular for a few months like Words with Friends, Candy Crush, Farmville and whatever the latest game trend is. You give me up to the minute updates on all my sports teams so I know if my favorite player has scored, made a big play or gotten hurt. You allow me to check up on social media as often as I want to so I know what all my friends, family, and frenemies are up to. You allow me to send emails to my professor telling them I won’t be in class so that I don’t have to get up and walk across the room to my computer. You allow me to set six alarms within seven minutes of each other so that if I don’t wake up to the first one, five more will follow no matter what I say.

Thanks for having a great camera. How else would I take pictures of the best meals I have ever eaten, document adventures with friends, and remember nights I probably shouldn’t? And thanks for letting me screenshot things so that I can share the latest gossip with all of my friends in the group chat.

Thanks for being there to play the best music for sad nights cuddling with the dog, for pump up music at the gym, and for pregame music before going out with friends.

Thank you for not shattering into 1,000 pieces when I drop you for the sixteenth time in one day. And for not blowing up even when I leave you on the table by the pool in the blazing summer sun all day.

I know this is pathetic, but I really am thankful for you. You’re always there when I need you, with the exception of when you are dead or I have misplaced you or AT&T has terrible coverage, but I don’t think those things are your fault.

Love,

Your owner

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
