Broken girl..

I know it feels like the world continues to run you over. When you think it can't get any worse it does. Those days eventually will cease, and the light will begin to show itself again.

Broken girl.. I know how bad some days you want to give up. You continuously debate on if being this broken is even worth staying here sometimes. You practically scream our for help.. yet no one hears you. You choose to stay, because something in your conscious tells you there is more to your story. You lose sight of all the good you have done in your life. All the smiles you have given people. The slightest difference you have made in so many peoples lives. You are so loved, even when you don't realize it.

Broken girl.. I know your whole life you have been told you were hard to love. Your dad leaving you shattered first. Dating boys who didn't understand you or see your worth. Taking more and more of you piece by piece. You continue to chase this idea of what you think is 'love' as it continues to rip you apart. Until one day you realize loving yourself is more important.

Broken girl.. I see you working hard, getting better, choosing self care, and repairing all the parts others have broken of you. It's hard as hell. But you're doing it well. You look in the mirror seeing progress. You smile because you never thought you would start to feel normal.

Broken girl.. you learned to love yourself. Placing each piece back carefully so you seem a lot more together than you actually are. It's an art really. You're finally happy. You're finally getting where you want to be.

Broken girl.. your truest friends are your soulmates. You know the ones I'm talking about. They root for you in your success. They encourage you to continue on this positive road because they believe in you so much. But they also wipe away your tears when all you want to do is shatter again. They remind you giving up is no option. They help hold the bond together. Their love for you in genuine.

Broken girl.. you have learned to love yourself. You have learned that being broken is okay. That this is apart of your story. This is YOU. You view life differently. The light in your life is becoming more apparent. You have learned so much about yourself when you chose to focus on you. Life becomes enjoyable.

Broken girl.. unexpectedly now you have met someone. A man. One that you thought only existed in movies or fairytales. One that chooses the broken girl, because he sees the potential in you. He loves every broken piece, and never intends to break the progress you have pieced together. He shows you love, they way you should be loved.

Broken girl.. you will be whole again. Years from now, you will know the exact moment that last piece will fit perfectly and your life will all make sense. You are everything they told you that you weren't. You are now whole.

To all the broken girls. Here's the hope you were looking for today,

Xoxo ❤️

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
