A Letter To My Sister
Laurel Kearney

Thank you for helping me become who I am today. Now, I know I wasn't that "big brother" you were hoping for but I am your younger sister and I am grateful for that. You were my first best friend and I have always looked up to you and will continue to keep looking up to you.

Now I may have been a pain sometimes. You also may never knew this, but I might have borrowed a few of your shirts just so I could follow your style and be like you. Yes, every younger sibling wanted to be like their older sibling.

Now that we are in your early 20s, you're currently in the UK following your heart, and I have never been so proud to call you my big sister. You are following your dreams and doing what you love. I love watching you grow into the person you are becoming today. You also have found someone who you are going to spend the rest of your life with and I can't wait for that day in May.

Thank you for being a big support in my life, for all those "sister-sister bonding trips". For the car rides, shopping trips, coffee dates, homework time at Starbucks and everything else we have done together. You might not be in the same country, and I will have to face my fear of airplanes to come see you. I am ok with that because I love you.

I love you so much and I will always and forever be your "little sister". Thank you for watching out for me and being there for me. Thank you for encouraging me to become who I am today and slowly getting out of my shell. I love you so much!

Love always,

Your "not so" little 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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"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.
