To My Best Friend As We Room Together In College

Going to college has always been something that I've looked forward to since middle school, and it's unbelievable that it's already time to move in to a dorm room for my freshman year. I knew that sharing a room with someone after always having a room to myself was going to be difficult at first, but rooming with one of my best friends will make the transition a little easier. Especially because it'll be so cute and cozy with all of our little handmade decorations.


Em, I'm so thankful that I met you and got to experience so much of high school with you. The memories that we made throughout the past three years are priceless. I cannot believe we are living together! From watching "Going to the Store" videos during drawing (instead of actually drawing anything) to our weekly Bob's and Target runs, you've made my life so much more enjoyable. I wouldn't trade you for the world.


Well, this is the year where you really find our just how strange I am (and how much time I actually do spend working on homework, despite how I never had it completed in high school). I apologize, in advance, for all of the annoying things you're about to hear me complain about for no reason, that's just what I do sometimes. And I also apologize for the amount of nail polish you will smell because I usually procrastinate by painting my nails for hours. Additionally, I'll try to hold back as much sass as I can, but we'll see how that goes. This is your warning that I also tend to air dry my clothes, which results in just hanging them on every surface I can find (and I will not apologize for hanging sweaters from my bed).

I'm so excited for everything that we'll get to experience together, from Pollyeyes runs, to trips back home for Bob's and Target (because we are definitely creatures of habit). I can't wait for all of the fun we'll have binge watching Netflix and eating junk food when we should really be studying, even though in all seriousness I will need help with anything math related. Hopefully I can get you to at least tolerate Gossip girl. And as for the spring break trips, words cannot explain how excited I am to be able to travel to new places with my best friend.

I'm so glad to call you my best friend, and at this point, my unbiological sister. You are like family to me, and I wouldn't want to share all of these experiences with anybody else. I cannot wait to see how much stronger our friendship will become after we are living together. Here's to being roomies! I hope this year is as wonderful as we hoped!

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.
