Dear Heart, Sincerely Brain

I wish my heart followed the map my brain was telling me to go.

Dear Heart,

I tried to send you signals that it was time to leave. Remember the ache in her stomach when she saw him with that other girl? Remember the headache she had after hearing his voice? I've been trying to tell you for months that the time has come for you to let her move on, but you haven't. She's so tired. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I know you feel yourself racing every time his name comes across her phone. I'm so tired of throbbing because she hasn't slept in days and I know her stomach is annoyed with the fact that she can't bring herself to eat anything. Sure, she loves him and you're only acting off of feeling, but you cannot allow her to keep destroying herself. Her physical, emotional, and mental well-being are way more important than some feelings she has at the young age of eighteen. Trust me when I say there will be others. Who am I? The logical one in all of this. You remember all the 'I love you' texts and hugs and kisses, but I won't forget the time he ignored her for three days and she found him with another girl. I see the pain her love for him is causing the rest of her body so please, we're begging, let her move on. Every movie is screaming at her to follow her heart but I promise this time she needs to consider listening to me, her brain.

She only has a little longer that she can last listening to you or her body will seriously give up on her. She needs to eat. She needs to sleep. She needs to communicate with others. Let her move on. Let her feel at ease again and I will work my hardest to convince her that one-day things will get better. We are begging you to detach. This is for her benefit, and yours.

Sincerely,

Brain

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.
