Thanks mom.

To The Woman Who Is Everything
Felicia Gordon

Mom, you're amazing.

You are everything that I ever could have dreamed of having as a mom. You work so hard so that I can have everything that I need and want. You have taught me so many things throughout the years and I've taken away so much from our relationship. You are truly a person that I admire and look up to. Thank you for being everything to me.

1. You have taught me to be humble, yet strong. Always pushing me to achieve my dreams and reach higher. But never forget what my knees are for.

2. You have given me the strength to keep my head up high when the circumstances are against me. Always telling me that we will find a way.

3. You are the inspiration behind my dreams. I reach for everything I want because you taught me that I could do anything I set my mind to and you always remind me to believe in my dreams.

4. You have taught me to depend on no one. Even you sometimes, and that's okay. You have helped me grow into a strong and independent woman that knows what she wants in life and is not afraid to go get it! I know we but heads over this one because neither of us are ready to let go of the other, but when the time comes you have insured that I will be fully prepared to stand on my own two feet.

5. You have showed me what it means to be honest and sometimes blunt.You say what you mean and you have taught me to do the same. Sometimes that comes back to bite us in the rear but it's okay cause I got it from you! Lol.

6. You have always been there to catch me. Even when I fall hard you are still there to catch me and help me back on my feet.

7. You have taught me to see the good in people. A valuable lesson that not many have learned, you have taught me to see the positive, the light and the good will in all people no matter their past mistakes.

8. You have taught me to face each day with a little bit of Jesus and a whole lot of coffee. You are always reminding me to turn my eyes up and look to God for help. And don't forget the coffee.

9. You approach each day with a little bit of sass. And what do you know... so do I! I of course may overload the sassy sometimes but you know just how to bring me down to tolerable levels.

10. You have showed me what it means to love people. You always have a hand out for someone in need. Doing your best to make someone's day a little brighter. You try your hardest every day for every one that you know, even if they are not your responsibility. That's part of what I love about you!

10. LAST but NOT LEAST. You are the best mommie! And I love you bunches and bunches to heaven and back again to infinity and beyond!!!

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.
