10 Reasons To Keep Living
Be Well Buzz

We all face our own battles and demons. Some of us may be struggling with life a little more than the next person. Truth is, we don't ever really know what's going on in someone else's head or what they might be dealing with behind closed doors. But whatever someone is going through, there's always a few good reasons to keep living this beautiful life.


1) You mean so much to someone.

Whether you believe this or not, there is at least one person (and probably many more) who would be devastated without your existence.

2) Most of us haven't even lived half of our lives yet.

There is so much more time for greatness and happiness. Be there to experience it.

3) Change can happen in a blink of an eye.

You're allowed to change your life around however you want, whenever you want.

4) Your future may be brighter than you think.

Possibly a mini you and the person you love could be running around a few years down the road.

5) There are many people you probably love on this earth and just imagine all those things you will miss in their lives if you leave them.

Weddings, graduations, perhaps the birth of a child. You should be there to experience the happiest of moments of your loved ones.

6) Traveling is good for the soul.

And there are endless amounts of places to go to. Don't miss out on this beautiful world.

7) Love.

Maybe you haven't met "the one" yet, but when you do it may change everything. Love is so strong and beautiful. The person you're meant to be with is out there.

8) Completing milestones!

Life is all about milestones. Graduating high school or college, being hired at your dream job, or buying your first car, maybe even apartment.

9) That one person -- or maybe a few people -- that mean something to you.

Keep fighting and living for them.

10) For the journey.

Life is all about unexpected twist and turns, be there to experience what's next.

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.

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?
