WordPress

To express yourself means to let the world know who you are. It is a way to identify and stand out in a world of similar people everywhere you turn. There are several ways we can express who we are through our daily lives like art, writing, music, langauge and more.

1. Writing

Writing is an easy way to express your feelings, your opinions and even to just write stories that interest you.

2. Singing

No matter how good you are, singing can be fun. You can put your own touch on popular songs. No two people ever sing a song exactly the same, that's what makes your singing voice unique.

3. Painting or Drawing

Artwork is a great way to express what you like. You can create a picture however you want and put your own personal touches on the work.

4. Sports

Play a sport you enjoy. By playing soccer, baseball, tennis or any sport, you can have fun and let the world know who you are.

5. A journal

You can keep a daily journal and write down your feelings. You cannot express yourself until you first know yourself and learn who you are and how you feel.

6. Dancing

Dancing is a fun way to express you. There's so many different styles, so you can chose what you like and jump right in.

7. Join a club

Find a club with others who share your interests. The best way to express yourself is with others. You may find many people who think like or like the same things as you.

8. Decorate your room

Put things in your room that let others know that this is you. Your bedroom can be as unique as you. Put up pictures, decorations or quotes that you enjoy.

9. Your style

Wear clothes that make you feel like you. Create a you trend and find a style that you personally love to wear.

10. Play a musical instrument

Take up a new instrument. Playing music is a great way to express yourself. It helps you to shout to the world who you are. Like dance, there's many different styles and you can find the one you enjoy.

Expressing yourself is a great way to let the world know, "This is me and I am proud to be me!"

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.

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?
