3 Months From Now You Will Thank Yourself

As your summer is coming to an end, school is about to begin. If you are anything like me, then you are getting excited for what this school year might bring. Saying good-bye to the long beach days, endless tanning, and hanging around by the pool can be difficult. The start of a new school year can make you eager,nervous,excited or even unmotivated. The idea of another school year, living in the library on more caffeine then you ever thought possible may not sound appealing to you. Here a few motivational quotes to get you in a positive mindset before heading off to school.

1. Instead of looking at the hundred reasons to quit, look at the thousand reasons not to give up.

2. Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The will pass anyway.

3. The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

4. Do something today that your future self-will thank you for.

5. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.

6. Push yourself because, no one else is going to do it for you.

7. The expert in anything was once a beginner.

8. No matter how you feel...Get up. Dress up. Show up. and Never give up.

9. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore is not an act, but a habit.

10. I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

Starting of the year with the right mindset can help make this school year the best one yet. If you go in thinking you are going to rock this year, I have faith you will do nothing less.

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 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.
