To My Long Lost Friend
Lily Pimentel

I wish I could go back to the time where our friendship ended or just faded away. I am sorry I don’t keep in touch anymore. Life has gotten in the way. You are probably not sure if this is for you, but if we were ever friends, this is for you.

I wish we could have kept our friendship going because I’ve never regretted being friends with anyone. You helped me through things that I could never repay you for.

Having friends has never been my forte. I have a tendency to push people away because I am afraid to get hurt. My whole life I have had a problem with keeping friends. I don’t know why. Maybe we hung out every day and we just stopped. I’m sorry. I know this won’t make up for the lost time, but maybe we can get back in touch. I need healthy relationships in my life. My goal for 2017 is to make lasting friendships, but maybe I did have a friendship that would last a lifetime, and I just gave up on it. So this is for you, this is me reaching out. I just want you to know that I will always care about you and I cherish the memories we did make. If you ever need someone to talk to I am always here for you.

I know in the past I used to say that all the time, but I really mean it. Life has gotten so hard since the last time we talked. When I am scrolling through social media, and I am not going to lie, I look through your pictures. It makes me so happy to see old friends smiling, but I know sometimes when I’m smiling in a picture it doesn’t mean my life is perfect, so if you need someone to talk to I am fully open to just listen to you. Sometimes all a person needs is for someone to listen to them.

So as you enjoy college, a new job, an engagement, a marriage, a baby, or anything life changing just know that I am thinking about you and I am extremely happy for you.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
