NSF

First Stop: Surround yourself with those who make you happy. Because life is just too fucking short. As Bob Dylan would say:

"Be groovy or leave, man.

"


Second Stop: Love is cruel, and everyone at sometime in their life plays the fool.

“You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.”

Third Stop: The media lies.

"A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall means something's gonna happen. In the last verse, when I say, 'the pellets of poison are flooding the waters,' that means all the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers."


Fourth Stop: Humility is a truly great quality to have. The strongest people I know have shown it in the quiet corners of the day when no one was watching.

"I think it's wrong for a person to talk about themselves. A person's life speaks for itself. If you've done good things people will spread the news, and if you've done bad things people will spread the news too."




Fifth Stop: You can write a poem and be a poet or...

"You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word."



Sixth Stop: Money isn't everything.

"You can have the best there is. But it's gonna cost you all your love. You won't get it for money."


Seventh Stop: Keep that inner child inside of you, forever.

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."


Eight Stop: The friends that are for life are the ones that are always by your side in the worst moments of your life and the friends who leave:

"got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there grinnin'."


Ninth Stop: Pain really is beauty.

“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”


Tenth Stop: Life is like a train. On the journey, you lose yourself and yet find something new about yourself. We all get lost sometimes.

"Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost. "

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.

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?
