If You're Ever Feeling Doubtful, Just Remember The End Goal

Being in one of the hardest majors at my school, I can't even count the amount of times I've thought about changing my majors or have doubted what I'm doing with my life. Every time I think this, though, I just think about what I'm working towards. My dream job is to work at Estée Lauder and work with makeup.

Every time I cry about an exam or I'm in a hard class not understanding something, I just have to remind myself that this will all be worth it in the end. All this hard work is going to give me so many opportunities to do what I love.

It's so important to remember what you're working towards. Nothing in life is easy, but everything you do has some sort of end goal or finish line. You just have to push through and make it there. If it's something you're really passionate about, never give up, no matter how hard or impossible it might feel.

You need to empower yourself and always remember that you can do this, no matter what challenges you may face! Knowing you can do it will be so helpful to keep you going.

There might be some people out there who doubt you, like friends, family, other people in your major, but self-doubt is even more hurtful. Always have faith in yourself, even if other people don't have that same faith in you.

You got this.

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.
