To The Person Who Left When Things Got Rough
what they did next

You came into my life at a time where I was busy finding myself. A time where I often felt stressed, and would get annoyed at the littlest things. There were days where I wouldn’t talk, or I would ignore you, and you would get angry and think you did something wrong. Eventually instead of sticking with me, and being the person I needed, you left. You just walked away.

I’ll admit, I was hard to handle. I had an attitude and there were some days where you would just make me so mad I wanted to never speak to you again. I often would come to you with my silly problems, and seek your advice, it was because I trusted you, and I trusted you would be there and get me through the bad times. My mistake.

I often look back on that time and wonder if my life would be different if you decided to stick around. From the short time you were a part of my life, I cared about you, I cared about your happiness, and I often worried more about if you we’re okay, then if I was. I was willing to be the person for you that I wish I had. But, you gave up, and I’m sorry that you did.

I am sorry that you left because look at me now. I am happy, I am content. I put my all into everything. I make sure that the people in my life are happy. Sure, I went through a rough patch, I was so close to giving up on myself just like you gave up on me, but I didn’t, I didn’t because the other people in my life wouldn’t let me. You were just another bump, and I’m thankful for that.

Don’t get me wrong, I was sad when you decided to run away, but now? I don’t really care. It’s not because I don’t want to care, it’s because I can’t care! I couldn’t keep caring about you because I knew I wasn’t even a passing thought in your life.

You’re just like other people, you missed out on a good person who could make your life great, because I was a little difficult, because I apparently cared too much, but hey, the good ones never come easy. If you would have stayed and put up a fight and broke down my walls, you would’ve known that.

Thanks for leaving when things got bad, thanks for bailing when I counted on you. I hope one day you look back and think about the choice you made. I hope you see how happy I am, and realize that I was that good person that could’ve made your life great, but you’ll never know because you ran off when things were rough. Next time, remember, the good ones never come easy.

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.
