To My Grandma, I miss you
Courtney Hairfield

Dear Grammy,

I’m just stopping in to say I miss you, and I hope that you’re having a great time in Heaven with Grandpa. It’s been a whole year without you. I’ve taken you leaving pretty hard, because there was still so much you didn’t get a chance to see, like, my senior FFA Banquet, me graduating, or getting to see me walk down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams, or welcome my first child. Our relationship was pretty rocky and hard for most of my life, but we were finally working on it. They always say that it gets better in time, but it’s only gotten harder. I don’t know who I’m going to call when I run out of sugar, or who I’m going to run to when I’ve had a bad day. You were my go to for everything. I hope that you’re proud of who I am becoming.

Thank you for always being there when I needed an ear, or someone to tell me “that boy isn’t worth it”. You were my rock when life threw me a curveball. I can’t wait to see you again one day. Sometimes I sit next to the Dogwood tree in your front yard and talk to you when my days been rough but there’s nothing better than getting a hug from you and hearing you say “it’s gonna be alright kiddo” Or to hear you say “I love you” just one more time.

The holidays aren’t the same without you, no one is there to make the pumpkin pie like you or at Christmas to help me decorate the Christmas trees, or give me a coloring book, pajama pants, and crayons so I could sit in your living room and drink hot chocolate and color you pictures every Sunday afternoon, and just spend time with you. I can’t wait to run up and give you and grandpa the biggest hugs because losing the both of you, meant that I lost two of my biggest fans, and very best friends. I love you so much and miss you more and more each day.

Also, after you left this world our entire family fell apart, we haven’t seen or spoken to My Aunt, Cousins, or Uncle in almost a year, it’s so crazy how you were the glue who held everything together. I wish you could be here and just piece everything back together.

I just want to tell you that I love you, and miss you more and more everyday, and I appreciate everything that you’ve ever done for me.

Love,

Courtney

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.
