To My Nephew

You will forever be my best bud.

To My Nephew

You are always going to be my best bud.

We have this super cool relationship that not a lot of aunts and nephews have. We are only ten years apart, which to me, is really awesome. It is actually sort of funny though, too. When you were born, we had to beg the nurse to let me into the hospital room to see you, because I was underage and I technically was not allowed into the room. I am pretty sure I cried for awhile, and eventually, she let me inside.

Since we have this age gap, and since Nonnie watched you on weekdays, we kind of have sibling-like relationship, which I absolutely love. It makes the dynamic of our relationship so playful and fun. Almost every time I see you, you tackle me with a hug and squeeze me so tight I feel like my stomach is going to explode. (I still expect this when you are 25). You also tackle me a lot just because you think it is hilarious.

My absolute favorite memory I have with you though, is the day you asked me to be in your "best friends forever club." Later on, you also asked my best friend to be in it with us, and when your little sister was born, you immediately added her into it as well. You have such a sweet and loving heart, even when you tackle me, it is always filled with such love. All of the ladies are going to love you. I am going to make them all go through a questionnaire. And I will probably embarrass you a lot. I apologize in advance, but that is one of my jobs!

One of my other favorite things about you, is that you understand when I am sad, and you know how to make me happy. I can cry so hard I cannot breathe, and if I am with you, you know to just hug me really tight and let me fluff the hair on your head. You almost always love to help me with stuff, too. This summer, you helped me move cinder blocks that weighed over fifty pounds, and you did great.

I could talk about you for days, but that would be a really really long article, so I chose one more of my favorite things that you do. Every time I meet one of your friends from school, you always say, "this is KK, she's my aunt and my sister's godmother." I melt inside, each and every time you say it.

No matter what happens, you are one of my best friends, forever. I will be there for you, whether it is girl advice, life advice, anything. I will always be there, no matter the situation or circumstance. I will forever be your KK, your Kake-y. I love you more than words can even describe. I am so excited to continue to watch you grow!

Love you bud, forever and ever and ever. Thank you for always making me smile.

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.
