To The One That Let Me Get Away

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Thank you for many things. In a way, it was quite bittersweet in the beginning. I understand that things happen for a reason. I am still waiting to see the reason why we didn't last, but I'm sure in time that it will make sense. I know that I will miss the memories that we made and could have made. I know that I will miss the little things like playing music in your car and making fast food runs.

Thank you for showing me how I should be treated and also how I shouldn't be. As much I wanted us to last, I am able to see some flaws with our relationship. You wouldn't read my articles unless I was there to make you. You would go to other people when something upset you, instead of coming to me first. I had wanted to be there for you, to support you, but you wouldn't let me. You began to make fun of what I was passionate about and passively put it down. In the end, you became to busy to talk to me and made me feel like I was bothering you every time I would try to get into contact with you.

With that, I am beginning to realize my freedom and this opportunity you have blessed me with. Although I am not against being in a relationship, I want it with someone that will appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. I am able to take this time and reflect on what I truly want. The person I end up with I hope will be my best friend who will stick by my side through anything. They will see that a relationship is not always easy and will see that it is worth fighting for.

In Adele's words," I was running, you were walking. Couldn't keep up. You were falling down." I want to do a lot of things in life. When I want to do something, I will go at it with everything I have. I have a strong personality because I have been through a lot in my life. I know how to be independent so I'm not worried about being alone. I want someone that will be true to me, which you lacked. Thanks for showing me a very important life lesson that I didn't realize that I needed.

Thanks for setting me free. I have a lot of big plans that I still want to accomplish with my life. I wish you the best with whatever you do. I am happier than ever. I realize that I am happy with the true and honest people that I am surrounding myself with and following my passions. Because, boy, does this girl have plans with her life.

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.
