Embracing Changes In Life

Why is it so hard for one to accept change? Whether it happens in a day or in a year, change will always be apart of life. Are the unplanned changes bad or good? In my opinion, when you least expect something it can make you grow as a person. Change can either make or break you. It all depends on how you take control of the situation. Looking back in my life, change is the reason why I am the way I am today.

Losing and gaining relationships is a huge part of life. Whether it comes from a messy breakup or losing a friend, these relationships can play a huge factor in your life. If a relationship is toxic, get rid of it. There should not be one person in your life who brings you down, stresses you out, or makes you feel like you're less than you're really worth. The boy that you fell in love with may not be the man that God created to be your soulmate. Friends may not have your best interest at heart, but there is always someone out there who will care for you.

Many of us are still stuck in the past. Being stuck in the past does not give you the chance to have a better future. Why is it that we still grip onto things that make us sad or bitter? Leaving one's comfort zone is a scary thought. We all get comfortable of having a routine or being in a situation that hasn't changed for us. By getting out of these 'situations' gives one the chance to explore other options. Being open-minded can get someone far in life. Therefore, since most will resist change, successful people can use this to their advantage.

When we move forward, we don’t move backward. By doing this, we move ahead from our past and into a more positive future. Although it may be hard for someone to see the good in change everything works out for the best. Once you embrace the idea of change, the best is yet to come. Change gives one the opportunity to succeed in anything, if you have the will to do it. It gives one the potential to get rid of any what-if questions or regrets. It allows someone to grow into the person that they were made to become. As well as it will lead to personal growth, and can make you brighter person.

Maybe it's just me, but once you start to learn how to accept change it helps you think differently on how to make choices. Becoming a stronger person is the hardest kind of change. Don’t change just for change’s sake; do it because you want to. Changes become pages. It is about closing one chapter and opening another one. Changes bring new beginnings and more opportunities in life. One never knows of what the outcome may be. When you change from your usual path there will be plenty of options for you. Small changes become more important. One day at a time, small changes will eventually lead you to the desired big one. Change helps you look at life in a new perspective.

Depending on what the situation is, it may also make you reflect on your life morals. Even though it may occur because of a negative situation, change almost always leads to something good. The ability to go from resisting change to embracing it can be possible. However, it may be difficult, but one can achieve this. So the next time you are faced with an experience which causes your reality to change, try to embrace it. God gives us the strength to make it through each day with change. He is the reason of why we get through each day, and His love shows 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.
