I Have Some Advice For The Confused

Hello Beautiful/Handsome,

You're clearly reading this article for a reason. Either this article applies to you, or you're just curious what I have to say. I don't have all the answers to everything that happens in someone's life, and that's not why I'm writing this article. I am writing this to scratch the surface of some advice that I think will help you when you're confused.

If it's about a significant other.

It may be a boyfriend or a girlfriend, maybe just someone you "talk" to. Do what your heart tells you to do. Don't do something that will make someone else happy, you always need to do what makes you happy, first. Even if it may hurt someone's feelings, they will get over it someday. They may not get over it today, but they will someday. Your happiness will always come at a cost, I am sorry about that. In the end, your happiness is what is always important, as long as you're not physically hurting someone or hurting someone in a sense of abuse.

If it's about your family.

They have always been there for you, so be careful with what you say. Depending on what the situation is, remember to always stay calm. Getting angry never helped anyone. Take a deep breath and think about what will happen if you freak out. Always think before you say something, you can't take it back after it has been said. The last thing to remember is that they love you and want what is best for you. Of course, this all depends on the situation.

If it's about college/school.

We are all confused. You're not alone. Always know that you have people to support you and help you through whatever you're struggling with. Please, if you're struggling, take advantage of all that the campus has to offer. The people on campus are paid to help you. They have degrees, some of course being students (but still helpful), just so they can help you. Take advantage of everything that college/school has to offer. You got this!

If it has to do with friends.

This is a hard one, every situation is different. You might have that friend that has separation anxiety. The friend that on your case 24/7. The friend that is just really getting on your nerves. When it comes to friends, and this will sound bad, but they come and they go. If they're not good for you, then you need to find some new friends. If to you, they're worth the trouble, then keep working through whatever is going on. Always be honest with them. Honesty is always the best policy. They might not accept it right away, but they will be happy you were honest.

No, I don't know all the answers. I wish I did. I fall in this category all the time, being confused that is. Life is confusing. Always fight for what you believe in, never give up and lastly, remember you got this!

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.
