Everyone Goes Through Tough Times, But It Gets Better, I Promise

Sometimes you just have to get through the bad times-- and cookies help!

My winter break was pretty eventful. For one, I worked all break. My boyfriend came up for Christmas. I spent some amazing days with him. He was the one part of my break that made me genuinely happy. I was also glad to see my family because I really missed my nieces.

However, I did go through a tough time. It tends to be difficult around the holidays, maybe it is just the season. I basically cut off all my internet usage. I lost contact with everyone (except my boyfriend) for a while. As I said, all I did was work and go home.

Going back to school yesterday, I noticed a lot of my friends went through the same thing. The holidays seem to be hard on everyone these days. Everyone has something going on, whether it is school, family, friends or spouses. Sometimes, you just have to make it through each day and believe it is going to get better.

I have not submitted an article in weeks. I have had zero creativity and I have just felt mentally and emotionally exhausted. Sometimes I don't even know what to do about it. I am just hoping that it will get better with time. I hope 2019 is my year and everyone else's year.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great new year!

(And if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope your holiday/break, in general, was great!)

Also, my favorite thing about going back to Atlanta was Insomnia Cookies! Open till 3 A.M.

It is truly delicious!

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.
