College has brought me a lot of things and changed a lot for me. I could say the things I miss the most about home are my big queen-sized bed or seeing my siblings everyday but another huge thing that used to be a part of my daily life is my parents handing down pieces of advice. Their words always got me through the days, picked me up when I was down and helped me achieve so much. Huge thank you to them.

However, these come from all different sources, hopefully some of them help you out or make you laugh. Keep striving to do your very best and never give up!

1) Don’t be afraid of things of that might scare you, because it can only go two ways. 1) you could’ve tried and it didn’t turn out the way you planned or 2) you’ll realize you had nothing to fear.

2) Stop trying to force things that aren’t meant to work. You waste a lot less time doing dumb sh*t that won’t get you anywhere.

3) What’s meant to be, will be.

4) What’s meant for you won’t pass you by.

5) To not give up when you want to the most.

6) Don’t light yourself on fire trying to brighten someone else’s existence.

7) Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.

8) Always be moving forwards never backwards.

9) Don’t go out with him he is an a**hole

10) An old cowboy once said “Be careful of’m. Women are like honey. They’re sweet, but you can never get’m off your hands.”

11) It’s okay to live a life that others don’t understand.

12) Don’t put your hands where you can’t see them.

My personal advice to you all is to embrace who you are, go after what you want and everything that you want will come to you.

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?
