To My Best Friend, Thanks So Much For Putting Up With Me
Sammie Fairbanks

Dear my, not so childhood best friend,

We weren’t even that great of friends in high school but senior year/freshman year of college was the best one yet.

No, we didn’t grow up together but everyone thinks we did. Yes, you’re still my best friend despite the miles between us and you always will be. Distance just won’t change a thing when it comes to this friendship!

Thanks for always being here for me any time I need you.

You’re someone I can count on and call at any hour of the night. You get my sense of humor, my stupid jokes and somehow you still choose to be seen with me in public. You’re always someone that’s here for me no matter what, you take ride or die to a whole new level. I know you’re always a listening ear that’s never going to judge me. It’s crazy to think that this friendship started as something that rooted in our junior year of high school. I love that our conversations started casual and kind of meaningless and now you’re someone I can come to with anything.

You seriously are someone I can count on.

You’re always down for movie nights, Panera runs and of course Starbucks coffee! You’re the best barista I’ve ever met and I miss mid-day coffee runs with you that quickly turn into spending money that we never had at Target. Thanks for spending the entire summer with me tanning by our poolside and listening to my crazy boy stories. You always entertained the both of us when you happen to fall off chairs. Honestly, I’ll always remember those mundane summer days that turned exciting because of the hilarious, and sometimes stupid, things we found ourselves doing.

I really just don’t get how you genuinely understand me.

You get my music taste but probably because it’s basically yours too. Our chick fil a addiction is too real and borderline embarrassing. The fact that we use to be regulars at Panera in Alpharetta just proves that you actually understand me. Even though it always broke the bank account it was worth every deep conversation we’ve ever had in those booths. Thanks for also being my personal fashion stylist and shopping buddy whenever I needed one! I love when you call just to see how my day is going and getting snail mail from you is the best thing. I just genuinely don’t know what I would do without you. The world needs more people like you in it. Thanks for being you and having such an impact on my life!

Find you a friend like this, hold on to her tight and never take her for granted because you never know when your best friend is about to walk into your life. She’s about to add everything you’ve been missing in a friend.

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.
