To The Girl Who Still Holds A Grudge

This letter is me finally dropping the act and apologizing for something I should have so long ago.

To The Girl Who Still Holds A Grudge

To the girl who still holds a grudge,

First of all I would like to apologize. What I did to you was cruel--we were young and hadn't even began to experience life yet. This letter is not going to be me pleading my case as to why you should never had been mad at me to begin with because I understand how you feel. I would have felt the same way. This letter is me finally dropping the act and apologizing for something I should have so long ago.

I'm not going to lie, I was beyond upset with you for holding a grudge all these years; I didn't even take a second to think about what I had done to shut me out like that. We had such an amazing friendship and to let something honestly so little come between us was something I still to this day can't put into words. Maybe that's why you don't speak to me when we cross paths.

I see why you still hate me, but I want you to know I no longer have any bad feelings towards you. I believe whatever happened happened for a reason and maybe (hopefully) our paths will cross again one day. We had so many plans to do together and its painful to be on this journey alone, I'm still doing what I told you I would though because I made that promise to you. I know you probably don't care what I do now but I want to be able to say I kept at least one promise to you. I can't help but think if this hadn't happened you would be right here next to me. We were supposed to be roommates and have that cute room with matching comforters that everyone thinks of when they think about college. And I can't lie- when something happens you're still the first person I wanna call, but I know their won't be an answer on the other end.

I want to thank you for being such a great friend to me and never letting me quit on myself. For pushing me in the directions you knew I should have been going in. Thank you for making me come out of my shell and actually be a better person. Most of all thank you for always being proud of me. I know a lot of the good things you did got overshadowed when that we would fight but I still appreciate them all to this day. Honestly sometimes when I think about quitting or think about leaving it all behind for an easier life your words come back to the surface. I hear you tell me to never give up or to never sell myself short because I'm a better person than I think I am.

I hear about you sometimes.. I'm so happy you're finally happy, I know it's something you have always thought you'd never find. I only hope that through whatever happens you still chase your dreams and find everything you want in life even if I'm not there to cheer you on. I hope you still know I'm always in your corner and whenever your ready to talk I'm all ears. If that day never comes than that's what I have to accept.

No matter what I say deep down I do miss you and I'm sorry for everything.

Take Care.

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.

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.
