10 Things To Remember On Days That Aren't So Great

Hannah Montana was right… everybody has those days. But what matters is how you react to your not so perfect days. Remember these 10 things and I guarantee your day won’t be so bad anymore.

1. Take what went wrong today and use it to make tomorrow right.

This speaks for itself. There is no reason to carry over today’s problems into tomorrow. Everyday is a new day, with new potential, and new light.

2. What you give to the universe, the universe will give back to you.

If you say you’re going to fail, you will fail. If you say you are going to be sad today, you will be sad today. The universe has more power than we think!

3. What happened that cannot be fixed eventually?

Put your bad day into perspective, is it really going to affect your whole life?

4. Count your blessings not your problems.

Cliché but so important; our blessings are not guaranteed and as quickly as our problems came, our blessings can leave even more quickly.

5. Never underestimate the power of people.

Find your support group around you. Call your friends or family to just talk. Get coffee with your roommate or watch a movie together. Remove yourself from what is holding you down and detox with positive people surrounding you.

6. Stay true to you.

If you are not living outyour beliefs and dreams you are no longer on the journey to YOUR happiness.

7. It’s just one thing.

It’s one test, it’s one person, and it’s one mistake. It’s not the end of the world.

8. Learn what works and what doesn’t.

Work out in the morning to set the mood for the day, or at night to release built up negative energy. Stop hanging out with people who only complain or those who put you down. It’s your life.

9. Anger is passion in the wrong direction.

Your emotions are spurring from somewhere, for something. Use them.

10. If you are not confident in yourself, nobody will be confident in you.

How you feel about yourself translates with your attitudes, body language, ideas and values. Don’t let people put you down because you feel down. Love yourself and that will shine through to the world.

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.
