A simple "Thank You," isn't nearly Enough.

To The Parents I Want To Make Proud

Mom, Dad, Thank you. Thank you can't explain how lucky I am to have you two in my life. Working your butts off so that I can go to a college of my choice.

Every day I think about the sacrifices that you two have made for me and how lucky I am to be in the position that I'm in. Disappointing you is the last thing that I want to do, and if I do just know that I'm sorry and I'll learn from my mistakes.

I know that you're always there for me no matter the situation. I know you feel like you harp on me sometimes, but it's ok, I need that. You mold the person that I am today, and I'm content with the decisions I've made and the person who I have come to be.

Mom, your radiant energy, and positivity not only through me but anybody that you enter in contact with is incredible. My friends never say anything bad about you, because you're perfect. You are the most patient person I know, you find the positive in everything, and you work hard with no complaints, I hope to be like you someday.

Dad, your faith, and your leadership is something that is contagious. The way you look at things has taught me not to wait on others, but to go for what I want.

Together, you have taught me the most valuable lessons that not schooling or teaching could have taught me, and no amount of money can be paid to you for the lessons that you taught me. A thank you is all I can give, and that I will try my hardest not only to make you two proud but to make myself proud as well. I love you guys.

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.
