Don't Walk Away

If you decide to stop being an idiot, this is why we deserve another chance.

It's over. Those two simple words can break someone's heart. Those two words can ruin someone's faith in relationships. Those two words can ruin someone's trust in anyone else.

Why do people automatically rush to ending a relationship instead of figuring the issues out? Some people automatically push others away, scared that they might fall in love with them and hit the ground instead of being caught.

Relationships are not perfect and they sure aren't easy. They take time, effort and trust. Sometimes people make mistakes, sometimes couples fight. A fight or a mistake is not a reason to give up on someone. Don't give up on people because they are human. Sometimes the person who is asking for a second chance is the person that would give you a second chance without hesitation.

This is what society has done to us. Society has taught us that you don't have to fix what is broken. That there will always be another someone to fill that person's place. Today, people leave so easily and they don't come back.

You need to know that we are worth a second chance. We are worth the fight. Second chances should not be given out easily, but fixing a relationship is worth the second chance.

Ending a relationship, shouldn't be easy. A breakup should not happen over text. If you really want to break up with a person, one you care about, you should really do it in person. You should explain to them that you do not want to give them a second chance. You should see the hurt in their eyes, see what you're letting go without fixing.

You ended it with one text. A text someone will never forget. "Don't ever let anyone ever tell you you're not important because you are, you have so much to offer and never settle for anyone who doesn't treat you like gold. You are 100 percent worth it." I should be worth it to you. Anyone should be worth a second chance.

It's time for people to start fixing what is broken because there will never be a full replacement for the person you're giving up. No one will make you smile, laugh, or look at you the way the person you're giving up on does. No one will fit in your arms so perfectly like they do. No one will have the same voice they do. No one will be them, no matter how hard you try to replace them.

Be that person who goes against what everyone else does in today's society, fix what is broken, give someone a second chance. For all you know, that second chance could lead to being together for the rest of your life.

Instead of saying those two words that break someone's heart, say six words; I'll give you a second chance. Those six words are giving two people the chance to fix something worth saving.

Don't be an idiot. If you walk away from a second chance, you'll realize eventually how they were worth it and by then, they will have already found someone else who treats them like they are worth it.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
