We Are All Misfits

Even though I didn't see how God was going to use me in my circumstances, Christ knew exactly how things were going to turn out.

We Are All Misfits

So during my first hour class, I thought my teacher came up with a really good point and wanted to join in on the movement. We're all misfits. We all have our own desires, and stories of how we got here. But do we realize that those stories and desires just might be the very thing that impacts another person's life?

At first I didn't think so. I thought that my stories weren't as special and creative as everyone else's. But that's the beauty of it. Even though I didn't see how God was going to use me in my circumstances, Christ knew exactly how things were going to turn out. Because it was his plans from the beginning.

I think as Christians we tend hold on to things that we don't want other people to know about or hear about and it may seem okay at first but, once you get out of the bubble you're in. You'll realize that you are not alone and that there are many other people surrounding you going through the same thing.

It leaves me wondering sometimes how difficult things are for other people and how they handle it compared to how we handle situations in our life's daily. Because let's face it, there is always going to be somebody out there that is hiding something that we don't know about. That's why it's always good to pray not just for the people, but for anyone else that is going through something in their life's that may seem impossible now, but in the future will get better.

So it's okay to be a Misfit even when you think you're not one. There's always a story worth telling and a message to be heard.

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?
