A Thank You To My Best Friend
Kara Hickey

Heylo Keilyn,

I asked you maybe five minutes before I started writing this, what I should write about this week, and you jokingly said you. As you said never mind and actually starting thinking of topics for me to write about, I had already to started this.

Let me start off by saying how grateful I am for you. I remember it like it was just yesterday when we first met. We were going out with some of our friends, and we spoke briefly, and I didn't think we would end up being best friends. How wrong I was. It's funny because it seems like it has been a lifetime of friendship and not just ten short months. You have brought so much light into my life, and our friendship was a blessing in disguise.

When we met last semester, we started to really get to know each other. We discovered we had so much in common, and so many of the same values. I think that is something that made us be so close. Our ability to connect with so many different things makes our friendship so valuable.

I want to thank you specifically for being you. You have seen me at my lowest and highest points, and continue to be my friend. I want to thank you for treating me like family, and really getting to know me. It's funny how you don't find many people you truly connect with, but we do. Thank you for introducing me to people who I consider great friends, and for helping me find my way. Speaking of that, thank you for helping me find my way back to God. You have never forced any of your beliefs on me, but with your influence, I am on my way to finding myself within God. I truly appreciate how you have helped lead me back to him, and being a part of this wonderful journey. I think I would still be questioning my place in life if I didn't have you.

Thank you for being so understanding, and comforting. You are someone I know I can rely on, and that is something you do not find in many people. You are truly one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. I can not say this enough, but there are not many people like you in the world, and I am so lucky that I get to have an amazing person like you in my world.

God put you in my life for a reason, and now we can go through our journey together. Thank you for being my best friend, you are truly a treasure in my life. I will never be able to put into words how much you mean to me Keilyn, but for now, I hope this gives you some form of an idea. I can not wait to see what lies ahead for us in the future, but I can definitely say that I'm glad my future will be with you.

I love you more than words can express,

Kara

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.

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.
