To My Friends For Life

Psychologists say if a friendship lasts 7 years then it will last for life. Whether that fact is true or not we far surpassed that point. I constantly tell you guys out of the worst years of my life I got the best things that have ever happened to me. We've proven our friendship can survive through thick and thin, come hell or high water, no matter what we have each other's backs.

Thank you for being the most loyal people I have besides my family. I know no matter what is going down, I have you in my corner and you don't how much that means.

Thank you for supporting my dreams and having the good sense to tell me when I'm doing something that could inhibit me from reaching those dreams.

Thank you for standing by me in times of love and loss. Lord knows we've had some doozies.

Thank you for being there to witness my moments from brilliance to stupidity and everything in between, because I have enjoyed watching yours just as much.

Thank you for taking on my family and becoming a part of it. I love that you just walk in the house and call my parents mama and pops like they are your own.

Thank you for the times where we all get together from far and wide and it's like nothing has changed. We catch up on the new and reminisce about the old.

Thank you for being the sisters I never had.

I know since we were kids we would talk about living together, being in each other's weddings, and being aunt to any and all children that come along. Now that we are getting closer to those things being reality, I can't wait.

I look forward to meeting the person you are going to marry and welcoming him into our family, but also telling him he gets one shot at this and if he messes up, his ass is grass.

I look forward to standing by you at the altar, in the woods, on the beach, as you become someone's wife.

I look forward to watching you grow in or change your career path and blaze the trails here or abroad.

I look forward to the times I get to welcome your kids into this crazy world, and love them as fiercely as I do you.

I look forward to the times where I will tell your kids about all the wild and wacky moments we had when we were their age.

I look forward to the day where we get to watch our kids play and grow up together.

I look forward to those times where your husband is going to come to me in those moments that he just doesn't know what to do with you and I'll counsel him through it then send him back to you. Just as you would do for me.

I look forward to us traveling and taking road trips together while we leave the boys and kids at home.

I look forward to so many things that are coming up in our lives, new adventures and roles to take on, but I love that I get to do all of these things with you guys.

They say to pick your friends wisely because they'll be the ones by your side after your significant other kicks the bucket. I never had to worry about that, because I found my tribe a long time ago. Though we may not live in the same places, or see each other on a regular basis I know nothing will ever change. I love you guys.

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.
