What Is The Best Environment For Me?
stocksnap.io

Throughout our lives, we enter and experience various environments. These include academic environments, professional and job-related environments, family environments and friend environments. When entering into new forms and versions of these, a go-to slogan to remember is "I AAM ME!" Don't worry, I did not spell that wrong. "I-Inspired A-Accepted A-Appreciated M-Motivated M-Maximum/Magnified E-Effected (Positively)." If you can say "If you can apply these adjectives to each of your environments, this is a good environment for you to function in. You can only be one person, and that is yourself, and your surroundings can severely change your outlook and ways you choose to live. It is important to live in the moment, without micromanaging every situation, but you should also take the time to check in and analyze how these environments effect you, and though difficult, some turn out to be more toxic, than helpful. If you are feeling low or out of place, try changing up your environments. Things such as going to a new coffee shop with a different vibe can even make a difference, but do not forget about these core environments.


I AAM ME.



I AAM ME.



I AAM ME.


I AMM ME.


I AAM ME.


I am me. There is no one else I can OR would rather be. Be your best self, and allow others to make you even better.

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.

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?
