10 Life Lessons Learned From A 3 Year Old
Personal

Over the course of our lives we pick up lessons along the way. By the time we are at the end of the road, if we are lucky enough we have collected many lessons. If you have ever been around a toddler you might know that for someone so tiny they have a big bucket of life lessons.

1. Sharing is caring

Share thoughts and ideas, hugs and kisses, and your time and love.

2. Persistence pays off

We all learn in life that if you work hard enough you'll end up getting what you want. Apparently, begging and screaming can also achieve that goal for you.

3. Nourishment and being well rested are key factors in living a functional life

Hanger is real and add it with being sleepy and the devil would become undefeated

4. It's good to dance even when people are watching

As we grow up we tend to start caring more and more what people think but life is truly magical when we can let our hair down and show off our newest ballerina twirls in the middle of the busy city for all to see.

5. Mostly everything can be healed with a hug

...and sometimes a lollipop

6. Sometimes time outs are needed

We all get in to moods and and do things we don't mean to and sometimes we just need to accept that and self punish

7. It's OK to color outside the lines

In fact it's encouraged

8. Crying in front of people is alright

If you feel it, show it

8. Boys have cooties

This is one to remember

9. You're imagination can get you far

Dream big and who knows where you can get

10. When life brings rain, put on your boots and jump in the puddles

Bad days are always around the corner, they're inevitable but it's important to make the most of it.

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.
