To The Person Having A Bad Day, It's Okay

It's okay to have bad days. Everyone has one every once in a while. You are not alone.

You are only human. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be less than perfect. Everyone else is too.

It's okay to cry. Cry a lot if you need to. Your feelings and emotions are valid.

It's okay to do what's best for you. Stay alive. Take some deep breaths. Eat some good food. Drink lots of water. Put on some comfy clothes. Go for a walk. Do whatever it is you need to do. Taking care of yourself is one of, if not, the most important thing you can do.

It's okay to be yourself. Sometimes it's the best thing you can do. Never lose sight of who you are.

I know it's so much easier said than done, but don't be afraid to reach out for help when you need it.

Don't forget about all of the days where everything went right for you. You make a difference in the world.

For those who need to hear it, healing is not linear.

Don't believe everything you think. Sometimes the worst liars we know are ourselves.

Be kind.

Be gentle with yourself. I know you are trying your best. You are stronger and braver than you can imagine. You are so resilient.

Your bad day won't last forever. I promise you that. You will be back to yourself soon enough. Better days are coming for you. Don't give up on yourself. You may not realize it, but you have so many people in your corner who are constantly supporting and rooting for you.

It's okay. Keep your chin up. You are enough. You are loved.

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.
