Lets face it, college is stressful. You know it, I know it, every college student across the globe knows it. It is easy for us to find ourselves lacking confidence, motivation, and drive. Many students are overwhelmed and stressed with school and life in general. When we get to that breaking point, we want to give up because we feel as if we cannot achieve what we are striving to achieve. We CAN do it. We do not need to give up. Sometimes, all we need are little words of encouragement to get us through the long and tough days. You are going to make it. It is going to be hard, but you are going to make it.

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!"
