To my amazing work friends,

To the ones who've come, the ones who've gone, and the ones who've stayed. I miss you all so much. It's hard not seeing all of you during the week while I'm away in college, but seeing everyone on the weekend is what makes coming home that much more special. The bond that we've all created with each other is absolutely amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have countless things to thank you all for because you're all literally amazing, but here are just a few.

Thank you for breaking me out of my shell.

For those of you who have known me since the beginning, you know that I haven't always been as outgoing as I am currently, and it's all thanks to you. Without you helping me break out of my comfort zone, I wouldn't have the amazing group of friends that I have now. From being the quiet new girl who barely talked to anyone, to being able to call over 75% of the employees my best friends, I feel that you all have really helped me break out of my shell, which has really helped me develop into the person I am today.

Thank you for always being there for me.

You all are always there for me, and I couldn't be more grateful. Whether it be helping me with things for our job, or being there to talk when I'm not feeling like myself, you all are always there to talk and let me know that everything will be alright. We all have each other's backs. It's amazing to always know that.

Thank you for all of the laughs.

Giphy

Whether it's from something that happened in a group chat, during the meetings, something in our lives outside of work, something that happens on break, or something that happens while we're on the clock, you all never fail to put a smile on my face and make me laugh. We have developed so many inside jokes through the past months (and years for some people), and it really makes work that much more tolerable.

Thank you for making work tolerable.

Giphy

When work is insanely busy, insanely slow, or insanely boring, you all know how to make it more tolerable. Being able to talk to everyone and joke around with everyone on the job actually makes me excited to go to work every weekend. As much as I say how much I want to go home, I wouldn't want to go through five hours of work with any other group of people.

Thank you for becoming my second family.

If you're still there or if you've left already, we're all still a second family. We've all become so close over the past months, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. No matter what, we always have someone to talk to, no matter what section we're in during the shift. We're always there for each other when we need it, we always know how to make each other laugh, and you actually make going to work not as bad. We never feel like we're alone.

Thank you all for everything at work. I couldn't ask for better coworkers. I appreciate all of you.

Love,

Christina

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.
