To my high school friends I've lost touch with,

We all said that we would keep in touch. We all said that we have to get together soon. We all said that things won't change between us. It feels like yesterday we were in our graduation gowns, and we were all throwing up our caps. The memories from prom night, dancing, food, pictures, and laughter. That was one of the best moments of our lives. To our first football game to our last football game. Friday night lights, in the stands cheering on our football team. We never thought that college would change our friendship, but it did.

We are more busy now, our schedules are complete opposite. We are hundreds of miles apart from each other. We text each other from time to time, but it's not the same. Conversations are more about how you are doing, and what has changed instead of making plans and talking about our favorite TV shows.

I promise you, I'm not ignoring you, or that I have forgotten about you. Life has been busy, and we are both stressed about school. Yes, I made new friends but they don't know me like you do. No one can ever replace you. We went from talking everyday and seeing each other everyday to a text once a week.

We have grown up so much in these past few months since graduation. We were just teenagers in high schools, who were wishing to graduate as soon as possible. We were the teenagers who couldn't wait to be in college. Now we wish we could be back to high school.

I hope you are all doing well, and I truly miss you. I hope life is treating you well, and I hope you are living your life to the fullest. I hope you are surrounding yourself with positive people who want the best for you. If you are ever feeling lonely and you feel like no one understands you, give me a call. I know exactly how you feel, because I feel that way sometimes.

College friends and high school friends are totally different. In college, it's hard to find the right friends, and it's hard to find friends who have the same morals and interests as you. Maybe it's because it's our freshman year, or maybe it's because we are not putting ourselves out there. If you haven't found your group of friends, or your new best friend keep looking. Don't settle for friends who do not feel the same way that you do. Don't settle for friends that don't believe in the same thing as you. Don't settle for friends who push you around, or use you. You are better than that, don't change who you are to be friends with them.

Even though we are many miles apart, like they said in the TV show "Friends" "I'll be there for you." and like Charlie Puth said I'm only one call away."

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.
