This One Goes To My Best Friend

I know that this will be all you'll talk about for the rest of my life.

This One Goes To My Best Friend
Maria Perez

Dear bestie,

I honestly don't know where to begin. You know how horrible I am with expressing my feelings. I just want to start off by saying that I never expected to be super close to you when we first moved into college freshman year. You just a stranger who was randomly assigned to the same room as me. It wasn't until we shared our mutual love for The Wanted that we started hanging out more. You soon became my number one concert buddy due to all of the concerts we went together. Once our first year of college ended, you were one of my best friends.

Over the years, we've had our share of memories. All of those road trips to other states just to go to a concert (getting stranded in the middle-of-nowhere New Jersey was the worst). Our last minute decisions to go several tapings of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Saturday Night Live." And there are so much more.

You have become a part of my family over the past couple of years. My parents love to refer to you as the "adopted daughter." I always consider as my sister. We may argue and get mad at each other, we're able to talk it out and apologize. We've been able to vent about whatever is bothering us without any judgment whatsoever. We've seen each other cry. We've watched each other's back for the past three to four years.

With only two months left before we graduate college, it's weird to think that we won't be seeing each other every single day. I just want to thank you for being there for all these years. That you were able to put up with my anger problems and sudden mood swings. You've made it a one-of-a-kind college experience that I wasn't expecting. It'll be weird trying to maintain a long-distance friendship, but I'm sure we'll make it work.

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.
