Choose the right friends...

Choose Friends Who Choose You...

Choose the friends who are choosing you right back. Choose the ones who are more than willing to get real in a converastion with you. Choose friends who are making room for you at their table and willing to invest in the friendship. Choose the friends who light you higher, let you relax - who make you laugh harder, breathe a little lighter, and come alive a little more every time y'all are together.

Choose the ones who don't play small. Choose the ones that don't play games. The ones who pass on things like jealousy, and competition, and making you feel like you're not quite good enough to be friends with them.

Pick the friends who listen. The ones who make the first move when ever they can. Choose the ones who are reciprocating. The ones who are giving. Choose the friends who let you help them whenever need to be.

CHOOSE THE FRIENDS WHO LET YOU BE YOU!!!

Pick the friends who like you just the way you are, but never ever let you settle for less than you deserve. Choose the ones who encourage you to go after what you want in life, goodness, and never let you fall.

I have always heard you're the culmination of the five people you spend the most time with, so you know what... choose cautiously.

BE GOOD TO ALL!!!

Don't be stingy with my love, my word, please be the kind of woman who goes out of my way to include, but time and energy are two of the most valuable resources, protect them at all cost.

Choose like your heart depends on it, because it kind of does in the end.

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.
