A Thank You To My Honorary Roomies
Cassy Annie

Dear Roomies,

Long time no see, right? What’s it been, like two hours since you last saw me on your couch? You may think I’m crazy, in fact, I know you think I’m crazy, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you do for me. This may be completely lame and weird, but I feel like it’s long over due. So, thank you for honestly just being you and letting me invade your room on the daily.

As everyone probably knows, I’m a commuter, but I spend so much time on campus I practically live at my school. And I wouldn’t be able to be as involved as I am if it wasn’t for my crazy awesome bunch of friends who deal with me every single day. They have been letting me inhabit their rooms for over a year now and I think they have finally accepted the fact that I will probably be there for the rest of their lives. They call me their honorary roomie and I’m so blessed to have found them because I’d honestly be a totally different person without them.

A year ago, I was this semi-shy little girl who wasn’t exactly sure who were going to be her friends for the next four years. I came to Mis and boy am I glad I found you. Thanks for adopting me in a way that no one else will understand. Thanks for feeding me when I get hungry, walking me safely to my car always, letting me borrow shirts, shorts, shoes, socks, and the rest of your wardrobes, and for inviting me to all the fun. Thank you for the endless sleep overs, late night studying, laughs and cries and cuddles and most of all, walking down multiple flights of stairs just to let me into the building.

I am honored to have at least 17 honorary roomies who are always there when I need them. I think it’s about time to give them all a quick shout out and thank you. So, here goes nothing. Em, thanks for being there whenever I need you and also for letting me borrow your fabulous wardrobe all the time. Liv, twinnie, thank you for always showing me the bright side of things and always keeping me positive. Kass, thanks for sharing my name, our love for food, and your adorable giggle. Crystal, thanks for keeping me laughing, always and for going on crazy, old lady Zumba with me. Jess, thanks for being bae and sitting with me in a bath tub!! Emily, thanks for all the compliments and keeping the streak forever. Shy, thanks for always brightening my day and for listening to me whenever I need to talk. Katie, thanks for all you do for me. I don't know what I'd do without your crazy self and, also, for your bed. Megan, thanks for all the advice and words of wisdom, and also all the silliness along the way. Courtney, thanks for letting me invade your room all the time and for talking about makeup! Steph, thanks for the pink comfy chair and for accepting me as a new roomie. Claudia, thanks for being my mommy all the time 'cause I love when you call me sweetie. Megan, thanks for all the confidence that radiates off you and for trying to teach me yoga. Adam, thanks for letting me walk in without knocking and for dealing with me for 12 years in counting. Chrissy, thanks for being the best big sister ever and for letting me use you as my blank canvas sometimes. Charlotte, thanks for dealing with me literally all last year and don’t worry, I’ve been busy, but I will come visit all the time!!! And Ana, you’re probably never going to see this because you don’t have facebook, but thank you for being my number one fan, always. Thanks for never failing to be there when I needed you. You are an amazing person and wherever my future takes me I hope you are right there by my side forever.

I know I’m not easy, but all of you make me better. You make me want to do and be better. Never stop being who you are because I wish the world could have a thousand of you. You guys don’t know how much you mean to me, but I hope this shows it a little. Love you and see you soon!

Love,
Cassy

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.
