Why I'm Thankful I'm A Godmother
Lexie Klingler

July 4, 2013, is the day that changed my life forever. On that day, I became a Godmother. It is nearly impossible to put into words how greatly this blessing has impacted my life. To this day, I am overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness because of the opportunity that my Uncle and Aunt have allowed me to have. Without any questions and hesitations, I agreed to take on the role as a Godparent and it has be an honor to say the least.

I have been an only child my entire life. I have no complaints with being an only child, but it does come with some downfalls. Not having siblings means that I am never going to be an aunt. I find myself feeling slightly blue when I think about that because I have seen the way that my Aunts and Uncles treat me, and I wanted nothing more then to be able to give that in return. Being a Godmother has given me the opportunity to be an "aunt" and for that, I am forever grateful.

I was born on July 7, but the twist is that I was supposed to be born on July 4. Nevertheless, the fact that my Godson was born on July 4, the day I was supposed to be born on, seems as if it were meant to be. I feel as if I was almost destined by God to become a role model for my Godson. I know I may sound totally insane, but it's the small things that make me think further in depth. So for technically having the same birthday, I am grateful that we will forever share this memory together.

Being a Godmother comes with responsibility and motivation. I motivate myself to become a spectacular role model for my Godson. I want him to have the same hard work and dedication tactics that I do. I want to see him excel, to say the least. I want to shower him with gifts and love until he is 50 years old. I want him to know that no matter what the situation is, he can always come to me. This is my chance to be like an older sister or an aunt to my Godson and I promise to not let him down. You are a miracle baby and I'm so blessed to be here for you.

I love you, Zachary Aiden Klingler.

Uncle Max, Aunt Darlene, My mom, Zachary and me. This is the day I officially became his Godmother.

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.
