To My College Friends, Thank You For Always Being There For Me
Emily Huckabee

To My College Besties,

I can remember the first time I stepped foot on campus and immediately started wondering how in the world I was going to make friends in a sea on 30,000 other students. I didn't know where to even begin. Just like any other college freshman, I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to find MY people. That close group of people that you always see on movies that share pants or something like that. For me, college was a fresh start. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay in my comfort zone if I wanted to branch out and make new friends.

But I did find my people. Oh, so many people that I can't even begin to imagine not being in my life. From sorority sisters to coworkers and even to friends that I made in class. You have all impacted my life so beautifully and this letter is to all of you. I love each and every one of you, and I know that life would be so dull without y'all in it.

So many times in the past year, I was an emotional mess. No matter how many times I fell apart, y'all were always there to pick me up and hold me together ever time. Sometimes it was just giving me advice and telling me that everything happened for a reason. And other times it meant staying in and binge-watching Netflix. No matter what, you guys did your best to be there for me no matter what.

Y'all were always there to give me advice whenever I didn't know what to do. I don't think I made a single decision without running it by you guys first. You knew me well enough to know what was best for me and what was not. You helped lead me down the right path and gave me the strength and courage to do things that I never could've imagined were possible.

Self-confidence is always hard to come by. Y'all are always the first to shoot out compliments and boost up my confidence no matter what. When I'm stressed out about school or just life you know just what to say to make me feel like it is all going to be OK. And whenever I get my heart broken, you always tell me how I'm too good for him anyway and that I deserve better. So thank you for raising me up whenever I feel down.

I am known to make the most annoying "dad" jokes. But, thank you for always finding them funny and making me feel like I could be the next famous stand-up comedian. You don't know how good it makes me feel to be able to put a smile on the faces of people around me.

Thank you for never judging me. No matter what it is that I am going through y'all are right there with me. You never make me feel bad for anything that I do and always support me through the decisions that I make. I can honestly say that I was so blessed to have friends that uplift me instead of tear me down.

Last but not least, THANK YOU for being you and for choosing to accept me for who I am. Without y'all, I would not be the person I am today. I cannot wait to see how our friendships will grow, and I am so excited to start making many more amazing memories through the seasons of our lives. I know that we will be friends for a very, very long time.

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?
