A Letter To My Younger Siblings, You're Missed By Many

Dear twins,

I don't know what exactly happened to you both, but I hope somewhere and somehow you have found peace. I write this to you to say that I love you. Although I was never able to fully meet you, there's a feeling I have that tells me you would be the most extraordinary people.

I wish that we could have met and I could've spoiled you both but life is difficult in that way.

Your mom is doing well and keeping busy. I'm positive she would love to see you both at home while your sister and I are away at school. You both would have been amazed at the strength she has and how she stays positive no matter what occurs. You would've been the luckiest twins to have her for a mother, as I know I am.

I know you both would have gotten a hard work ethic from your father and would never have given up on anything. He would have taught you courage and strength just as he has taught me. Although he can be tough at times and hard to agree with, he's the most caring man I've ever met.

Also, your sister would've loved to meet you both. As she has molded me into the person I am today, she sure would've done the same for you. She's an incredibly strong individual and would've protected you from any high school bullies and comfort you at your worst days as a young teen exploring the world.

I wish I could see you grow up and be by your side through it all. I wish I could've been there to help you through the difficulties of high school and finding out what your passions are. It would've been incredible to look to you both for inspiration to stay young and innocent.

I wish you could've felt the warmth of a Christmas fire or the grass on your feet in the summer. I wish you could've fallen in love and met someone to make you the happiest person in the world. Your intelligence would've shocked many, go to college and amaze everyone.

But, I also wish you could've experienced heartbreak and loss to help you become stronger and more understanding people. I would like to say that life is amazing and easy, but that would be a complete lie. Although there are things that would have knocked you down, it's not fair that you cannot experience getting back on your feet and succeeding greatly.

You both would've brought something incredibly special to this world that's now missing, unfortunately. Like I said, life is difficult in that way.

More simple than all of this, I wish you could've found yourself in this world. I believe that somewhere out there you're looking down on me and wishing for the best as I would've wished for you. Again, I love you both and someday I hope we can finally meet.

Sincerely,

Your older sister

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.
