Always Say Goodbye, You Never Know When It May Be The Last

It's Monday morning, and I'm feeling sluggish. I put on a pot of coffee and hop in the shower. Taking my time drying my hair and half way putting on makeup, I see the time. Now Im rushing out the door paying no attention to what I am knocking over on my way out. I see my husband, but have no time for goodbyes. So instead of hugging him, I say "have a good day babe, Ill see you for dinner." Little do I know, this is the last time I will see him.

Everyday, someone goes through this. It happens in an instance. A car wreck or an accident at work could result in the last goodbye you'll ever say. A quote from The Fresh Quotes says, "A good-bye is never painful unless you're never going to say hello again." Hopefully none of you will experience this, but I have encountered three families that never got to say a real goodbye. Life throws us all hurdles, and we never know what to expect. Our morning could begin the most joyful day we have ever had or the most painful. Which ever it is, be sure to leave your home with a proper good-bye. Never turn down a kiss. Go out of your way to give a hug. Be a minute late because you gave your baby one last kiss and your wife one last hug.

It doesn't take much to make the ones you are closest to feel loved, but the minute you don't, you'll regret it. It's hard to walk through life never knowing, but God always has a plan. No matter what life throws at you, remember to always share your love, and give proper goodbyes.

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.
