Get To Know Yourself Better By Answering These 8 Questions

Here are some questions to ask yourself if you've been needing some clarity and peace of mind. Answering these honestly can help you get to know yourself on a much deeper level!


1. What would you do if you couldn't fail?

If you knew you couldn't fail, would you apply to that job or school? Would you travel the world? What's stopping you?


2. What are you passionate about?

What makes you feel absolutely happy to be alive? What fills your soul and motivates you? Whatever it is, find a way to turn that passion into something productive that'll help yourself and those around you.

3. What are your goals?

If you can't think of any, set aside some time to write down goals you want to accomplish within the next year, and then for life overall.

4. What do you regret?

You cannot change the past, but you can certainly change the present. Maybe you feel that an opportunity passed you by and wish you would have taken advantage of it. By changing your way of thinking, you can change your entire life.

5. Do you like your job?

If you hate it, you should think about finding a job that would be more suitable for you.


6. What advice would you give your younger self?

Would you tell your younger self to relax and stop overthinking? Whatever advice you'd give your younger self, can more than likely help you in some way right now.

7. What bad habits do you want to break?

Begin to make a conscience effort to change unhealthy ways of thinking and behaviors.

8. Do you love yourself?

This is the most important question of all. Whether or not you love yourself can impact every aspect of your life. Be confident in who you are and accept everything about yourself.

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.

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?
