No Dream Is Too Big

Get out there and do it

I graduate from college in 220 days but who's counting right? It's that point of my college career where I'm bombarded with the heavy question of "what am I going to do now?" For those students in the same position as me, or will be in the next few years, you'll find yourself in this dazed confusion of unanswered questions. I know where I want to be five or ten years from now, but how do I get there? How do I make those next steps? How do I actually "adult?"

I don't really think anyone has those answers and that might just be the joy of life.

So where exactly do I want to be in ten years? I want to be the owner of a child care and family service center. I'm on the fence about becoming a non-profit, but my ultimate goal is to provide services and child care to low-income and needy families. Services like financial counseling, family/individual therapy, educational and career opportunities, tutoring for school-aged children and other services down to child care.

It's a pretty ambitious goal that's for sure, but I'm passionate about giving aid to low-income families. It's a dream I can accomplish and I am motivated and determined to not give it up.

It doesn't matter what your dream or goals are after college. It doesn't matter if you even know what you plan to do after graduation. One day, you'll get there. If your goals are small and focus on each day at a time or are focused on the big picture, eventually you will get there with hard work and a huge amount of effort. Becoming the person you want to be or achieving all your goals is going to be the hardest part of the journey. You and I will want to give up every day. Nothing you imagine is ever too big or too ambitious.

As the cliche goes, "If you can dream it you can do 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.
