Things I Thought Should Be Shared

13 Things I Hold Close To Heart
Darcey Filsinger

1) I believe in the importance of being "Switzerland" while exploring each and every endeavor that comes acrossed you.

2) That there is power in words and sometimes they can hurt more than physical confrontation. They could leave or heal invisible scars that no one wants to bring up.

3) I believe in cherishing someone’s time with you. You can never be absolutely sure when your time together will be up. And, it’s important to hold the memories you share close to you, good or bad. They might be some sort of sunshine on a cloudy day, or a lesson you must remember.

4) Teachers. I believe in teachers. I think they don’t get enough credit as they should. They are these very honest people that have pursued some subject that they adore and want to share with you.

5) While I am here, I believe in passion. Not in the sexual way, but in the way that someone lights up when they start talking about something they adore with every fiber of their being. We they get absolutely and utterly tied up in the topic at hand that they just smile and ramble about the inner workings or how they feel when they encounter it.

6) I believe in the feeling that friends give you, when you laugh hard enough to make your sides hurt and you aren’t sure if you can catch your breath, but that doesn’t matter because they make you fearless.

7) All of the forms of love that there could possibly be. The man’s best friend kind, the long talks with your mom kind, and the kind that makes you stumble upon your words because you’re lost in a certain person’s eyes.

But, with all of these wonderful things to think about (and these are just some of the things I could actually put into words),

8) I believe in heartbreak. Enough stated.

9) I believe in the sad days. That sad days are for sad people because you can’t be strong all the time. And it’s so okay to not be okay.

10) And, I believe in the days where you lay on the floor, wishing that the sun wouldn’t rise because you don’t think you could make it to another sunset. Where you have one hand over your mouth to keep someone from hearing your tears, and the other is shifting from your stomach to your heart because they both hurt and you aren’t sure which one deserves the comfort more.

11)I believe in the good and the bad. That they are a chain reaction.

12) And, I believe we all have a path. A destiny, a fate. That we may choose to follow or disregard completely. But, I believe it’s there. And we can either choose to accept it for what it is, make it so much more, or go beneath it. And in each outcome, I believe you could make yourself a damn fool. Or you can make yourself legendary.

But most of all, I believe that there’s always tomorrow. Even if I may not feel like there should be, I believe it’s there. And, I guess that’s why I’m still here. Why I’m still going. Because of the infinite possibilities that tomorrow may bring.

13) I believe tomorrow is a wonderful concept.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
