At the start of every new semester students are filled with conflicting emotions and feelings. Happiness, anxiousness, frustration, eagerness, confusion and enjoyment are all feelings and emotions that flood the brains of college students in the first week or so at the start of a new gamut of classes, friends and experiences. In order to combat these extreme feelings, here are 10 quotations that every college student needs to read:

1. "In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can." -Niko Kazantzakis

This is so important for everyone in everything we do.

2. "A little progress each day adds up to big results." -Satya Nani

Even though it may seem that that what we do in one day is not a lot, it does add up and amount to a lot in the end!

3. "It's never too late to get your sh*t together."

Truth.

4. "Don't stop until you're proud."

I really love this.

5. "May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears." -Nelson Mandela

This is beautiful, just beautiful.

6. "If you’re always trying to be normal you’ll never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelou

Normalcy doesn't always allow for creativity. Keep this in mind.

7. "Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It’s thinking of yourself less." -C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis never ceases to amaze me.

8. "A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."

Something that is familiar and feels comfortable may not allow us to be our best selves.

9. "Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow"

This is so important in choosing how we spend our days.

10. "Any thing is possible if you've got enough nerve" -J.K. Rowling

This is the perfect quote to end with.

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?
