college is for everybody ?

College?

Being outside of college this year has been the hardest and the best thing that's happened in my life. It's been the hardest for many reasons but one of them is because I miss all my friends and being around community and it's the best because it's brought me a lot closer to the lord and I'm not writing 7 page papers every other day.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how college is not for them and I wonder how many people make it if they don't go, but I discovered that it depends on what dream your chasing , some dreams require college and others don't, what I truly don't understand is how some people just how work jobs at a gas station or a restaurant there whole lives as in working is all they do, so that brings us to this question is college for you ? Are you ok with where you are now ? Did college get you to where you are ? Can you spend your whole life working a job lower than the professional level ?

Or I think a better question to to ask is are you truly chasing your dreams ? See this is why I think people switch there majors so much is because there trying to find something there heart truly desires , why is it that now a days chasing your dreams is a Fantasy? Only people on tv do that or only people with enough money do that ? I think we get lost coming into adulthood when we're trying to find what we truly want or finally get what we want and still are not happy , so I would encourage you to stop stressing your self out with all these questions and stop to think about what you truly want and if you decide on something I am glad I could help.

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.

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.
