When we were younger, I always knew there was something about you that made me wonder and want more. I have looked for years to find someone who made me laugh the way you do, someone who makes me question if I can achieve more. I was raised on the right side of the tracks while you lived a totally different life than I did. But we work! We have always balanced each other out and it's no wonder that we always find our way back to each other. You have had a much different love life than I've had: you got married and then divorced, you fell for a girl who was nothing but wrong for you; and then we came back together.

People always say "if you love it, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours; if it doesn't, it wasn't meant to be. I firmly believe in timing and everything that does with it. I am the girl who puts her life on a timeline and likes things to be hit by a certain point; but the big man upstairs has other plans for me and after rediscovering this old flame; I trust him completely.

I let a boy completely destroy every ounce of me while still trying to love him with my all. I allowed myself to feel so low that I wasn't sure what to do with my life anymore and that almost killed me. I have always been someone with BIG emotions. I feel things so intense that I don't know how to express them without scaring someone like you away. I cry when I'm stressed, I scream when I'm angry, and I worry about everything that could possibly go wrong; but you already knew that. You are one of the few that completely understands what makes me tick. I overthink 150% of the time that I'll do something foolish and send you packing or say something that will scare you into thinking I'm a freak who is going too fast and just wants to find someone. I have been through hell and back trying to find a love like what we had when we were younger. I didn't think that the reason I couldn't was because our story wasn't through.

You let me grow on my own and I'll forever thank you for that. I was able to see what falling felt like and what crashing does to a person. I was able to learn how to stand on my own two feet and function as an adult; but still have the heart of a child and want nothing more than to feel butterflies in my stomach over a boy. I was able to create a life for myself that I was proud of showing to someone. When we were 15 and first dated, I was thankful that it didn't work for us then. Time knew what it was doing when we parted ways after college. We grew up, found out who we were and who we wanted to be. I am so happy to have you back in my life. I can't think of another person who feels more at home other than you. You are the best thing I never knew I needed and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life getting to know who you've grown up to be.

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.
