A Thank You Note To My College Family
Rachel Smestad

Thank you to my college family.

Going away to college allows you to branch off and experience many challenges and obstacles on your own. It also allows you to learn things on your own and experience many blessings and friendships along the way. One thing I am really thankful for is my college friends who I see as my college family. Without them I would feel lost and helpless.

They have gotten me through so much. Whether it's the late night study sessions or the spontaneous road trips to the store for some late night snacks. Thank you for putting up with me and forever being by my side. Being able to wake up knowing that I have you always here is a beautiful thing. In a way, you are more than just friends. We are each other’s family here at college.

Thank you for letting me always eat your food.

Whether it is your favorite snack or not, you can always count on me sharing it with you. I eat a lot, and I’m thankful that you all let me eat your food.

Thank you for always being here when I need you the most.

Whether you are busy or not, you drop everything you are doing if I need something important. You are always there to comfort me. It means so much that I can lean on you whenever I am not feeling strong.

Thank you for accepting my craziness.

No matter how many times you say I am annoying or that you hate me for being crazy you truly have accepted my craziness and count on me to make your day a little bit better. From my endless dance moves to blonde sayings, I am thankful that you have accepted me and my craziness.

Thank you for being a mother figure when I need to be told what to do.

Although I act childish sometimes you are always there to put me in place and make sure I always do the right thing and get my work done.

Thank you for being a part of my college adventure.

Whether it is sleeping in each other’s rooms or going out to eat I cannot thank you enough for being a part of my freshman year and being a part of this crazy college adventure.

Thank you for volunteering to live with me next year.

Even though I can be crazy I am thankful to call you all roommates and live together next year. I’m excited and can’t wait to have sleepovers every night with my best friends here at college.

Thank you for being you.

Most importantly thank you for being you. I have truly never had a group of so many caring and loving individuals as you all are. You are always there wanting and willing to help whenever I need something. I can always count on you guys and having you here at college with me has been such an amazing blessing. I love you all and just wanted to say thank you for being my family here at college.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
