To The Person Who Knows Me Best

"I will never forget you, and you will always be by my side."

To The Person Who Knows Me Best
Shannon Donovan

To the person that knows me best,

The next few weeks will be strange, not only for you, but for me as well. We will not be able to go on Wawa runs or valley rides at 2 a.m. Target will no longer have to question why we spend hours in their store every other night. When boredom strikes, YouTube will be watched alone. There is so much more that is going to change. These changes will affect my daily life and your life as well.

We are getting older now and it is time for us to go our own ways. You have your priorities and I have mine. You will become busy and so will I. I believe in you and I know you will be successful in all that you choose to do. I will always be here for you supporting you through everything. I want to be that friend that everyone feels they can talk to about anything. I want to be here for you (not always in person, though, as distance is between us).


Thank you for everything you have done for me. First, I thank you for supporting me in my decision to continue my education in another state. Moving away from home at 18 years old is not as easy as some may think. Your support and encouragement have helped immensely. Thank you for making me laugh. Laughing with you will always be a memory I cherish and I cannot wait to laugh with you again.

Thank you for crying with me. Life is not always rainbows and butterflies, but you have made the tough times manageable. You have helped me when I needed it the most.

Thank you for loving me. I know saying goodbye was not easy, it was just as difficult for me. Seeing the tears run down your face made it even harder. Letting go after that last hug was painful and believe me, I wish I could have held on longer. I am counting down the days until we see each other again.

We will talk every week, I promise you this, considering "T@gged" airs a new episode every week. Keep the fire burning, we must not lose our snap streak. If anything new or exciting or sad or depressing happens in your life, I want to know. Send me updates on what's going on in the hometown. No matter what happens over the next few years, I want you to know that you will not be forgotten. The pictures hanging in my dorm will not allow it.

As Hannah Montana put it, "You'll always find your way back home." You will always be a part of home. I'll be home soon.

Love,

Shannon

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
