A Thank You to My Girls

It's not just friendship, it's a sisterhood..

A Thank You to My Girls

You've seen me at my worst, you've seen me at my (semi) best and you probably know more about me than I do. I don't know where to start in thanking each one of you for what you've brought to my life and all you've done for me. No, the road hasn't been easy and we've battled through a lot of uncomfortable stuff but in the end, you guys have always been there. Through breakups, family disputes, dating, high school drama, jobs, loss and everything in between. I don't really think I can call it a friendship anymore; you're sisters to me.

You guys made up for my crappy high school experience by giving me the best one I could've asked for outside of my high school walls. When we look back on who we all used to be and the things we used to do, it seems crazy to think we ever had the time to be that carefree and happy. We did what we wanted, together, all the time and those are memories that will stay with me forever.

We're all from different situations and circumstances that make us all unique but yet we all fit together into this perfectly knit friendship like we were all specifically made to become friends with each other. I solely believe one of my purposes in life was to be a best friend to each of you. Anyone who knows us all, know we're best friends and it's been that way for some time now and I wouldn't have it any other way. Its nice having people who know you so well that you don't even have to say anything for them to know something is wrong or something is right in your life. You guys accept every broken part of me and show me true, genuine love through every situation; so even on days when I feel nothing but alone, I truly know that I'm not.

Another crazy thing is to think about what all we have already experienced together but yet we have so much more to look forward to. We've only experienced a small part of what the entirety of our friendship will be like, so even on my worst days, this makes me feel at ease.

When we got older reality hit us in the face and we all went our separate ways (life wise) but still remained as close as ever. Two of us moved half way across the country, yet we all kept in touch and I never felt "out of the circle" or that I was any less cared for. The hardest part of the experience, other than the sole fact of being away from my best friends, was making new friends. I didn't really know how to because I never had to; I always had you guys. I think a part of me was always closed off and unwilling to meet new people because I felt like I didn't need to because I already had everything I needed in a friendship with you guys; but then I realized you were my family and I didn't need to worry about making new friends because regardless of who was to walk in and out of my life, you would remain.

I dream of the day I stand next to each of you on your wedding day and although not all of us have children just yet, to the ones who do, I've had the most amazing time getting to know your little humans and being apart of their world. I want them to feel the love and comfort with me that you guys have always given me..as I know you will all do for my children one day.

Thank you, for always being the shoulder I need, the wise words behind every mistake, keeping secrets that no one else in this world could know, picking me up off the floor when I fall apart and mostly for giving me a "sisterhood" that I will tell my grandchildren about one day when I'm old and grey.

Thank you all for loving me, more than I could ever love myself.

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.
