You were supposed to be my Brooke Davis.

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I know we aren't really considered friends anymore. We follow each other on Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter but we never actually talk. We might comment on each others posts every once in a while but it's just us being nice. It's been a while since we actually talked. You know, how we used to. How we used to lay on the floor in your bedroom blast some Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus, and cry over stupid boys (no really why did I let you cry over him?). Somedays I think about you and how you are. Some of the most random things will remind me of our friendship. Whether you show up on my TimeHop or some random show we used to watch at 3 A.M. comes on.

You were my best friend. I know things change and we definitely changed. There were days where I didn't even know how to talk to you because I could feel us drifting apart. I'm hoping you felt it too. We had our friends we made at college. It was so strange to me that people I met in just a few weeks became closer to me than you and I ever were. But maybe that just showed that I didn't need to be stuck in a friendship with someone who seemed to not care.

You began to bully me over the stupidest things. You didn't care that I was off to college, making great friends and memories that'll last. You weren't happy for me at all. Even though we were going through the same transition. You were off to college too, making great friends and memories that'll last. But for some reason you always got mad when I was hanging out with my college friends. You could've been happy for me as I was for you.

Maybe our drifting apart was going to happen all along. As much as we wanted to be each others bridesmaid, and how you were suppose to be my Brooke Davis. Maybe a life long friendship for us just wasn't in the cards. It's sad that we spent so much time together and now if someone asks me what you're up to my only answer is "uh." No matter how many stupid fights we had, or that I don't know what you're doing today. I'll always care. I'll always miss the good times we had.

Maybe one day we'll meet up somewhere and talk about that stupid boy you cried over, or about the parties we went to. We'll laugh and smile about the good times in our friendship. We might only keep up to date on each other via social media now. But maybe it's for the best.

You'll always be my Brooke Davis.

Love,

Your Ex-Bff

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.
