College is a stressful time, full of new surroundings and new people. Most likely you came into this strange place alone but by the time you graduate, will leave with a group of lifelong friends. Here's a few thank yous' I forgot to give to my college best friends.

1. Thank you for stress eating with me.

There is no one else I would rather get McDonald's drive thru with at 1am before a midterm.

2. Thank you for being my mom when I need it.

I never realized how much we need Mothers in college. Luckily my best friend often fills that position. She is always there for me after I end things with a serious boyfriend, when I get sick and need someone to take me to the doctor and she's the one who talks me out of reckless decisions (like driving through blizzards and such).

3. Thank you for listening to me complain about college until 2am.

And for always telling me what I need to hear, rather than I want to hear.

4. Thank you for motivating me to go to my dreaded morning classes.

Rise and shine, you grumpy piece of crap!

5. Thank you for helping me through my homesickness.

Going away from home for school can be difficult, but with good friends it will feel like home in no time.

6. Thank you for pulling all nighters with me to help me study.

I will never forget the time you threw my flashcards at my head to keep me awake, you are a true friend.

7. Thank you pulling all nighters with me to party.

Nights of drunken stumbles, claustrophobic parties and midnight trips to Perkin's are mandatory for a full time college student.

8. Thank you for brainstorming new ideas on decorating my dorm room.

I will forever appreciate our late night Pinterest dates and you hanging pictures where I can't reach.

9. Thank you for watching hours of Netflix with me after a long day.

Nothing beats a long day of school like Arrested Development for a few hours.

10. Thank you for not judging me for eating a sleeve of Oreos for dinner.

Eating badly is what college students do!

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.
