To My New House

When I think of home, I think of my new house.

To My New House

To My New House,

When I first left my old house, I couldn’t imagine loving any other house as much as i loved that one. It was the house I grew up in. The one that I made all of my memories in, good and bad. When I first walked through, I could picture my family there but didn’t want to. I hated the thought of leaving the only bedroom i knew that once hung all of my Jonas Brothers posters, the friendly faces of my neighbors that I knew I could go to for anything, and the memories that my siblings I made since I could remember.

But that has all changed.

Now that we are moved in, I can still see my family living here just like I could before but this time I want to see us living here. I look forward to the millions of memories that await us. I didn’t know if I would like having my own room, considering all i have ever known was sharing with my sister, but I love it. I have my own space to express who I am and prove to my parents that my sister is actually the reason our room was always a mess, despite what the majority believe. This house also gives me a chance to meet new people which I love to do.

I love my new house. I look forward to waking up everyday and seeing what adventure awaits. Living an hour away from my old house gives me all the more reason to explore this area that I have never known before. When i think of home, I now think of my new house.

Here's to the future,

Your New Family

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.
