To My First Significant Other

An open letter to the first person who made me feel loved.

To My First Significant Other
Power Of Positivity

Dear Significant Other,

I don't know how to exactly put the feelings I have toward you into words. I do know that you have showed me so much more than I have ever known already. I am not used to getting this type of attention, so I really adore having it now after a long time. Although we haven't known each other too long, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for letting me talk to you when I have anxiety. From tests to the little things like if I look OK, you are there to listen and help me overcome. I have never had someone in my life, besides a few close friends, who can calm me down, and actually are willing to listen. I know that my anxiety can get bad, so I get nervous talking to anyone about this. You make me feel comfortable, safe and human when I have these problems. I wanna be there for you when the same thing occurs on your end.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful. From dress and heels, to sneakers and sweats you make me feel like I am perfect the way I am every day. I used to get teased for my appearance, but with you I know that I don't need makeup to make me look beautiful, rather my confidence in myself. It is not about the clothes, my nails or my hair. I just have to remember to have confidence in myself. I know we all have our insecurities, but honey you are perfect too.

Thank you for being my supporter. There are times where I do not believe in myself, but you somehow manage to make me wanna get back in the saddle and keep going. Whether it be academics, work or whatever, you just have that way about you to make me want to keep going. There will be times where you need me there for you as well, and I want to be there however I can. Life is not always easy, but I am a personal believer when people say that two is better than one.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to talk with me, and make me feel special. Sometimes my anxiety makes me feel as though I am being annoying, but the fact that you are still so willing to talk with me makes me feel better. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about. Hell, you could be telling me about the day you had and I would feel so glad that you felt you could trust me with it. I want to continue to keep this type of contact with you, and I hope to meet you soon.

Overall, there is a lot more that I could thank you for, but I know that I wanted to get these thanks out. I do not know how I got so lucky to get you in my life. Even if you do not feel the same way, it is OK, but I wanted to communicate this to you the best I could.

Sincerely,

A Significant Other

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.
