Don't Take Time For Granted

Time will slip away just like that, in a split second it's gone and you will never have that time back.

People act like time is nothing now days. They take time for granted, just let it slip away. Time is everything. Don't waste your time on things that don't matter. Once someone or something is gone, you wish you could of went back into time and spent more time with that person. Make sure you spend time with people who mean the most to you, because once their gone, they are gone forever. I was just looking through some of the poems I have written in the past and thought this one was a good one to share with everyone. Don't let time slip away.

Time Is Slipping Away

By Jessica Handy

The time is slipping away from us

Just in a split second the memories we have made are like dust,

Blown away and forgotten just like that,

The time we had together is gone forever,

we can’t ever get it back.

Time is such a precious thing

I was your princess and you were my king,

Why you got sick when I was so young,

It’s a mystery that I wish could be undone.

Why my dear, sweet dad

Are you leaving me so soon?

You were my guiding star,

My sun and my moon.

Time is slipping away from us

We only have a little longer,

I can’t be much stronger so help me my dear father.

The time we have had,

Wasn’t nearly enough

To pack in an entire

Lifetime of love.

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.
