To My Two Newest BFFs

...Who happen to be my roommates.

To My Two Newest BFFs

I have read so many of these types of letters. The thank you letters to your freshman roommate. They are all so similar, with thank you’s like “thank you for being there for me when I came home drunk”, “thank you for giving me outfit advice for the frat party last night” and “thank you for telling me to study" but my thank you’s mean so much more than that to me.

The summer going into my freshman year of college I was very worried about my living situation. I would be living in a triple and I had never even shared a room before. I mutually picked one of my roommates, but the other was random. When I say we think about how lucky we are every day that’s an understatement. We were literally blessed to be put with each other. To all the times we stayed up until 3 a.m. laughing about literally nothing, went on many, many adventures, danced in the room to the point where the room underneath us probably hates us, to laying on the floor together playing cards because we didn’t want to study for chem, to cuddling in someone’s bed telling each other all about anything, to even skipping class just to hang out together, and so much more in between.

Thank you for always helping me with my homework, since we all know I need it the most. Thank you for listening to all of my stories and caring about the ending, even though they tend to be a little bit long. Thank you for listening to me vent and always giving me the best answers I may be looking for. Thank you for knowing me well enough to know I’m not having a good day, and asking me why. Thank you for making my good days even better. Thank you for being two of the best girls I’ve ever met.

I will admit, I had a very hard time these past two semesters. A hard time being away from home, a hard time adjusting to college, a hard time making friends, and more. But when I think about what I have come out of this year with, it’s two best friends. Two new best friends that I feel like I’ve known forever and that I know I will have forever.

SO much love.

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.
