Am I Important to You?

Are you feeling important?

7029

Have you ever wondered if you were important to a person?

I have often wondered if I am truly important to you. Do I do things that make you like me more and make you want to stay? Am I someone you would drop everything for because you love helping me? Am I the person you think of night and day, and always want to make sure I am happy?

I ask myself these questions a lot. So much that it actually hurts me. I have always wanted to be an important person in your life and only occasionally I feel like it. I often think about if I am someone you worry about at night when I am on my way back to school or not. My goal has always been to make you feel important, even if I knew that it would kill me in the process.

But, am I the same to you? Is your goal to make sure I always feel important? Feeling important to me is a key thing in someone's life, they need to make sure someone is there for them even if it is for something small. That person once in their life wants someone to stop and say, "Hey you are important to me." When that doesn't happen a person can fall into a deep sadness because they feel useless to the world.

At times in my life, I felt like this, but when we talked it changed because I knew I was important to you. As time goes on though you start to question it because that fantasy stage is over and it feels like "now what?"

Do you still feel the same? Am I still your number one? Am I still as important to you as I was on day one? We go through these phases and we wonder these things.

Just know, though... no matter who you are or what you have done... you will always be important to someone. Even if this person doesn't express the emotions to show you anyways.

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.
