To the woman who raised him,

I am very lucky to have spent the time I have with your son. He never fails to make me laugh, and loves me even on my worst days. He is caring and supportive. He never says anything to hurt me. He's respectful. He works hard at everything that he does. And I owe it all to the woman who raised him. You taught him right from wrong and how to be a gentleman. I know he was probably a handful growing up, and you deserve endless thank you's for raising him to be the man he is today.

He really is a momma's boy. He does everything that he can to make you proud. He loves you more than words can explain, and I know he appreciates everything that you've done for him to make him the man he is today.

Thank you for teaching him to be respectful. He doesn't just respect women, he respects everyone. You taught him well. He calls me "beautiful" instead of "hot." He holds doors open for me. He pays for things for me, despite my attempts to pay sometimes 'cause "that's how he was raised."

You taught him how to treat a woman. He puts up a tough act, but in reality, he's got a huge heart and he's the sweetest person. We get into petty arguments sometimes, but he never fails to make me feel loved and special every day and I have you to thank for that.

Thank you for teaching him the value of hard work. He has so much perseverance and he's so dedicated to everything that he does. He has so much drive whether that be at work, in school, or in his everyday life.

Thank you for supporting his soccer career all those years. Sitting in the rainy weather, traveling countless hours to games, and doing whatever you could whenever you could to support his love of the game. I played soccer for a season when I was six, so I don't know much of what the job entails, much less to be the support system that you were and I'm definitely not the sports fanatic that he is. But I love watching how he lights up when he talks to me about his time playing and hearing about his passion for the sport.

Thank you for accepting me into your home and giving me the opportunity to make memories with your family. You're one of the sweetest women I've met, and I see where your son gets his loving and big-hearted personality from.

Thank you for raising the man of my dreams,

Your son's girlfriend.

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.
