Don't Rush the Come Up

When you judge the book by the cover

I swear when all you see is the surface of someone you're forget it took work to get there. I think growing up I always wished instead of being blessed for the present. I can't lie, I'm still that person just an improved version. I don't sit around all day thinking why is someone so perfect and I still can't even remember to charge my phone at night. I swear living in this world makes it so hard to have flaws without feeling like you behind. Looking in the mirror some days I can still see that little girl who didn't want to go to school because she was being picked on.

Let's just say now I've grown women and still compare myself to others. I, of course, blame the media because why else would women compare themselves? I probably could care less about another female if it weren't for the media telling us we have to look a certain way. But this is another story, let's focus on how it is a constant battle to grow naturally. It has been a personal struggle my whole life to not feel behind. I swear I matured too fast and how I'm just trying to balance out what I bypassed at an accelerated speed. Every day is filled with questions wondering how the next person does it. I think college is a breading ground for not feeling like you are enough. The battle to be on top of your class is the worst fight of your life alone. Looking around at everyone and wondering why are they so successful and I cant' get an internship. Everyone seems to be in this yacht you weren't even in the right boating arena to get a glimpse of what it looks like. Everyone on the yacht looks like they are having the time of their lives and don't have the everyday problems you have just waking up. It's crazy because this is the exact idea which drives a persona crazy to forget everyone is human. Just because you can't see anything but their success doesn't mean it was better than yours will be. Nothing happens overnight,keep pushing.

Even though I rambled about in this post I want to make the point clear not to rush your come up. Comparing yourself to everyone is inevitable and even when you try your hardest it can't be avoided. Your come up is going to be a natural process that will come when you are ready. Sometimes you don't even know what's going on behind the screens and forget to enjoy every moment before you hit your peak. Everyone may seem like they have it together but remember, They were either where you are now, or are still there and hide it well. Never let the success of others make you downplay your own. The come up will come so relax, and enjoy the ride.

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.
