Dear Chelsea,

Well, Older me anyways... Hi, how are ya?! Things are decent here, still sort of shaky. I wonder how it is with you now? What's the love life like? What's his (or her) name? What kind of personality do they carry? Are they funny? Aha, anyways I'll stop the interrogation. Wait, do we have a dog?! What breed? Name?

I hope you stuck through with the military plan. It will be pretty cool to be a Naval firefighter... I think so anyways. Are we stationed on a ship or submarine? How many countries have we been to? (Have we kissed any foreign guys?!) JUST KIDDING... maybe. The way it's looking, if I sign my papers and swear in in January, I'll leave around late December or early January. That being said, I should have finished my environmental science degree in December. Oh how did Australia and New Zealand? What grades did you make?

Anyways, I started Jiu-Jitsu classes. Did you keep up with it? How fit are we? Can we beat dads ass yet? Aha, yet again just kidding. I hope with all my heart that things worked out for the better. I know I'm super stressed and completely unfocused on the important things right now. There's too much outside stress for me to even think straight. I do know I'm keeping Jiu-Jitsu classes and running conditioning with Alec up. I really don't think people know just how much this Military career means to me... I have so many memories in this area, that being around here literally hurts my heart. I need a change, and a drastic one at that. I need to be my own person, which I don't even know who she is because K leaving took her away too. I haven't taken the time to be me... I hope we change that in the future. I hope we found someone who doesn't mind the completely damaged past, and who accepts us for past and present. That's something we need, right? That's a touchy subject, so I won't delve too deep.


Keep your chin up. Queens don't let their tiaras fall, remember? I hope we learned our lesson, on everything. You are my biggest hero, and my goals to do great things are inspired by who I aim to be. I have so many goals for myself, and I hope and pray (to what ever deity) that we stick to the plan and make the best out of our-self.

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.
