Why you need to take it day by day and one step at a time.

Every single night, I lay awake thinking about what could’ve been, or what could be. I look back on the things I could’ve said to make a conversation go better, or maybe thinking about if I said something wrong to a person I just met that might make them not like me. Every day, I worry and worry and worry about stuff I have no control over.

What’s the point of getting worked up and stressed about something you can’t change? Yes, I am sure you would love to go back and take back the time you tripped in front of your crush or saying something rude to your best friend in the heat of the moment. You could say sorry, but at the end of the day, it could still be something that bothers you.

People need to look up and live in the moment. Take life day by day cause you never truly experience life to the fullest of you’re always worried about the past. Stop being so caught up in the past. You can’t go back, nor should you want to. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe that. Something you wish you could change from the past just might be the reasoning for the best thing that will ever happen to you.


I am here to tell you that while, yes, it smart to make plans out your success according but that it is okay to live life day by day and see what each day brings you. No, you’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes. So keep your head up, and keep stepping forward because, in reality, you can’t go back in time even if you wanted to.

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?
