It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life and forget what is truly important. I know I personally do that all the time. I'm human, I forget about the small stuff because I'm so caught up in the drama and stress of everyday life. It's important not to get caught up in all the noise of everyday life. There are so many things we forget about doing but shouldn't. Sometimes, we might not even realize how important certain things we can do are and how those actions could positively influence another individuals day. There are some things we should just do more of because they are just good to do. They aren't difficult to do either, they don't require much thought or hard work at all. They are so simple that we shouldn't even think about doing them, some should just come natural and the ones that don't we should try to make them habits.


1. Smile more

2. Learn To Laugh at Yourself

3. Make Eye Contact with other people

4. Go Outside

5. Spend time off your phone

6. Tell your loved ones you love them

7. Give yourself a compliment

8. Get out of your comfort zone

9. Be in the moment

10. Take more meaningful pictures


The things we should do more of usually just include us being more in touch with the world around us and less concerned with what's going on in our own little bubble. These things don't include staying in all day because we are feeling lazy and constantly being glued to our phones. There are so many things we don't even realize are important to do more often.

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.
