To My Littlest One

Dear little little...

To My Littlest One

To My Littlest One,

My little picked the most perfect little baby. I can't express enough how much I adore you and how sad I am that I've only had one semester with you. But in the short few weeks we've had together, I want to say thank you for reminding me what it's like to appreciate the little things in college that old senior me has sadly forgotten. You encourage me to go out when I'm feeling lazy and reminded me that it's my last few weeks here so I need to make the most of it. Your excitement over the new experiences ahead warms my heart. I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to see what you do in our sorority and how successful you will be as a student at Plattsburgh.

Your big is the most incredible thing to ever happen to you and make sure whenever you have a question, ask her. Take care of each other when I leave and don't ever forget to call me!

Learn to let the little things go and learn to forgive the small mistakes that others make. But, don't let people walk all over you.

Treat each day like it's your first. Take in everything with awe, like it's the first time you've ever seen or experienced something.

Remember that you'll fall in love, it's practically unavoidable. You'll fall out of love too, and thats OK. People and feelings change. Don't be too hard on yourself about that.

Be kind to strangers. Thank people that normally don't get thanked.

Cherish all the little things.

Take chances, but stand firm in your beliefs.

Your sass and confidence will take you wherever you want to go in life. Remember how beautiful you are on the inside and out, and don't ever let anyone make you feel differently.

Be gracious in all that you do.

I love you little little,

Grand Big

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
