Thank you.

To My Pet,

You know the basic "come here," and "stop" (not to mention a few hundred other things I say to you). But, it's the things I didn't teach you that made me realize how special you are.

From the day you joined the family and we brought you home, you have been special to me, if not, my whole family. We thought we were getting a pet, not another family member!

You know how to cheer me up when I didn't think anything in the day could go right, and you do it almost effortlessly. Whether it be getting up immediately when I get home to say hi to me or snuggling me when you know something is off. And, you are just being you. Which is a great and wonderful thing. Oh, and the naps together. Those are great!

Little do you know, you've helped me through some awful days and have impacted my life in a great way. Heck, I've considered getting you certified as a service pet so I can bring you everywhere I go. Instead of make me happy at home, I can bring you to the places that make me happy too, and I can share those places with my best friend.

Service pet or not, I am glad to have a friend like you in my life. And, I think just telling you I love you and am thankful for you isn't enough, hence a whole article dedicated to you(even though you can't read).

I love you, pal. Thank you. You're the reason I think humans are animals' best friends. Not the other way around.

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.
