To My Future Roommate,

College starts in a little over a month. We start living together in a little over a month. It's kind of scary thinking a few months ago we were complete strangers. Here are a few things to think of as we approach move in day.

1. I will try to be the best roommate.

I will try to put my work aside to hang out with you. I will try to keep our dorm "clean". I will try to let you know every time we need something or every time I get something.

2. I know I won't always be the best roommate.

My work will become too much and I won't be able to hang out with you. I'll leave a dirty dish siting around. I'll forget to tell you we need more toilet paper or that I already got more toilet paper.

3. You will always have a friend in me.

I will always be your shoulder to cry on, ears to listen, eyes to watch out, and caption creator. You are the Brooke Davis to my Peyton Sawyer and Dory to my Nemo.

4. I will always watch Netflix and eat ice cream with you.

I prefer vanilla, strawberry, cookie dough, or butter pecan but I'll compromise. I'll always be down for a good movie, One Tree Hill, or Grey's. Just know that if we start a series together and you watch with out me I will be very angry.

5. Communication is key.

Talk to me. Let me know if I pissed you off. Tell me if you had a bad day. I will always be there to listen.

6. I will never turn down a dance party.

If you feel like dancing, I feel like dancing. It can range from Hannah Montana to Fetty Wap to Carrie Underwood, I don't care. Spontaneous or planned. Early morning or late night. You want to dance, we'll dance.

7. I will take as many pictures as you want.

I don't care how good I look in a picture, if you don't like it we can take a new one. If you want to take pictures everywhere we go, okay. If your makeup looks good and you want to take pictures, okay. Unless I look terrible I won't turn down a picture opportunity.

8. I'm ready.

I'm ready to take on late nights together. I'm ready to take on football games together. I'm ready to cry together. I'm ready to laugh so hard we cry together. I'm ready and I hope you are, too.

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.
