Friendship is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Being able to have that person who you go to, confide in, and love. I never felt so close to another human being ever in my life, and I am grateful for the many memories that we shared. When you find someone who understands you completely and loves you despite your flaws, that's something that you do not let go of. I never imagined life without you and even though you had imperfections, I never walked away from you. Not once. But, it appeared that the friendship was one-sided since you condemned me for mine. My honesty; my bluntness. I said the things that you didn't want to hear. The things you didn't want to accept. I guess you couldn't handle that. At the end of the day, I was only trying to help you do better. I did all of those things out of love.

I cared for you more than anyone else ever did, but you didn't see that. All of your rough relationships, I was the one that was there to talk to and comfort you. When you were crying over your depression or your struggles, I was there to love you. In your darkest times, I tried to be your light. To guide you, to make you feel safe. I wanted you to feel important.

Maybe I should have been more tender with you. Perhaps I should have just hidden my inner feelings. But, in my eyes, that's not being a true friend. Friendship is honest, friendship is raw, and I refuse to sugar coat things. There are times to be delicate, but I believe that there are times where you need to be blunt with the things you say. Maybe this makes me an awful person, who knows.

Someday, I will find a friend who appreciates my honesty, as well as my love. And maybe one day, you will look back and realize exactly what you lost. I am not begging you to come back, nor do I expect you to, but you need to see this through my eyes. That is all I really want. I guess when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter.

So, you have gone your way and I have gone mine. Looking at you now, it's almost like looking at a stranger. It just goes to show that there's a fine line between love and hate. I knew the moment it all came crashing down, that there was no turning back. With the passing of time, I have become okay with that. At the end of the day, I do want to see you happy and successful and I want you to find a best friend that better suits you as a person. You will do great in life and I wish you the best of luck in your future. Even though I will not be a part of it.

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.
