5 Quotes For an "Off" Day

It's hard to be a genuine person. It's hard to be honest, and embrace who you are, as well as trying to become the person you want to be. Here are some things to keep in mind on those harder days.


This is one of most common things people stress out about! Remembering that what you do, what you have, and what you are is enough is a tremendous part of self-acceptance and improving your well-being while working toward your future goals.

Find solace in your journey. Take stock of where you have come from and appreciate the person you've become along the way. The importance of what you've done thus far for yourself will continue to build for future. Not everything will go the way you intend it to, but it happens for a reason, and is nothing less than a lesson. Be grateful, always.

Have you ever done that? Just decided one day? It's a beautiful thing, and I hope you get to experience it at least once in your life. Being able to know yourself well enough, and be determined enough in your own self-will to make hard decisions, right decisions for yourself, and stand by them! It's honestly a beautiful, invigorating feeling.

I love this movie. I love everything about how it depicts coming into your own, despite the potential back lash. Coming to be okay with yourself, who you are and aren't as a person, and accepting flaws is so key to becoming your ultimate self.

This is one I need to work on. I can have a bit of a temper, but the beauty in silence is that you know you're the bigger person. You don't feel the need to justify yourself, your actions, your views or opinions to anyone because you don't need anyone else's approval. You've gained a patience, maturity, and self-assurance that will stick with 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?

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.
