An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

To those who don't yet know their passion,

It will be okay. You will find it. Here I am writing all of this advice to you, yet I am hard on myself every day because I am still clueless. It's one of those things where I am surrounded by coworkers who love their jobs and are so happy with where they are at. Those closest to me have been enduring school for years because they have a dream. But, here I am, working a job that I am not in love with and not having a clue where to go next. Sure, I have hobbies but I am not sure if any of those would turn into a passion. Perhaps, we will have to see.

Passion. Something we earn for. Something we base our lives off of. But yet, a day doesn't go by where I have absolutely no idea what my passion is.

No matter how hard I brainstorm, how hard I plan, or how much I put myself out there - nothing has clicked. I want to feel that fire and smile without realizing it simply because I love what I am doing. But what I have come to find, is that there is no age limit to find your dream job, your dream partner, or have your dream house. All of it is still possible and just because you are officially an adult does not mean that you have to have your life all figured out. You don't need to have it all, yet.

In the meantime, I plan on enjoying every moment that I have on this earth. Life is short, such a cliche, but incredibly true. Stop and smell the roses. Be open to new tasks. Take on a project that you would not have had interest in before. Continue your learning anyway possible.

Before you know it, your dream will come true. Slowly the puzzle pieces will fit together and form the big picture you have been waiting to reveal itself for quite some time now.

Sincerely,

Someone trying to find their passion too

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.

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.
