A Lesson on Loving Him

Listen to him.
Kindly.
Closely.
He will peel back layers of himself.
They will make you cry.
Listen to him.
He will show you various motivational speakers, that you've probably never heard of.
They will show you how he keeps his resilient spirit.
Listen to him.
When he tells you about his vision board.
Or about his checklist that he use to carry around in his pocket.
He believes writing things down is the start of bringing them to fruition.
Believe him.
Fall in love with his passion.
On days when it is the sexiest thing about him.
And on days when it is the only thing driving you apart.
Listen to him.
When he says he's going to do something.
He is going to do it.
Do not be confused when you are having a conversation or watching a movie and he pulls out his phone.
He stores all good quotes and vocabulary words in the notes section.
Listen to him.
When he says he wants to be alone.
It is nothing you've done or didn't do.
He finds solace in his thoughts.
Or he just wants to fold his clothes in peace.
Remind him.
He's doing a great job.
Sometimes he's too hard on himself, he forgets how far he's come when he worries about what he hasn't yet conquered.
Remind him.
YES! It is GREAT to save but he should splurge on himself.

Remind him.

His little cousin thinks he's the coolest person on earth.

Remind him.
He is not as funny as he thinks (he's much funnier but you can't tell him)
Challenge him.
Push his thought process.
Debate him.
He always thinks he's right.
He's not.
Learn to be in his space without needing his attention
That is divine connection


Sincerely,
the girl who fell in love with the details

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.
