Although you feel lost, you are not alone.

Stop. Whatever you may be doing right now, drop it. Walk away from it in this moment and take a minute to read this.

You are alive, you are on this planet for a purpose whether you have discovered that purpose yet or not. You are here in this moment, in this very world, for a reason that is true and unique to you. You are experiencing everything that you are in a way that is unique and specific to you. Your struggles, your blessings, your mistakes, all of them are specific and unique to you. You are you, and you are the only only you on this planet.

You are beautiful and kind and if somebody does not realize that then they do not deserve your acknowledgement. You are important and have a worth far more valuable than those around you that try to drag you down. You are all of the sunshine rays compiled into human form, you shine brighter each day and should never allow anybody to try to dull that shine.

You are on a journey that brings you in every which way, and at some points, you feel as though you're alone. This journey isn't meant to be understood and you must realize that even at the darkest hour, there will always be somebody there to help you along. The journey will twist and turn into directions that seem to make no sense but just know that it's okay to feel lost as long as you trust the process it is putting you through.

Nothing is instant, nothing will ever be handed on a silver platter. In order to obtain what you want, you have to work, but you will only receive as much as you're willing to put in. Whether it be at work or school or wherever you may be, don't let anybody outwork you for what you want; do not stop until you get where you're going and once you're there, stop and soak it in. Your rewards are reaped from your work, so enjoy the satisfaction that comes along with it.

It's okay if your life isn't exactly where you want it to be. You're life is constantly changing, and each minute poses a new opportunity. Just because it isn't where you want it to be doesn't mean it isn't on it's way there. It's a process that you need to trust, even if the process is unclear.

It's okay to not know what you're meant to be, or what you're supposed to be doing with your future. You're young, and the time you have to figure it out is far more exponential than the time you have to enjoy your time being young and experiencing life. Travel the world, eat the piece of cake, go for the morning run, sit with the kid alone at the lunch table, go out on a Friday night. It's okay to experience these things; this is the time you have to do this, and it's the time to be young.

You're going to try new things and fail so many times before you finally get it right so don't be discouraged when you don't succeed on the first try; even Albert Einstein had to start somewhere. Don't have expectations for every opportunity that arises because it's better to be surprised by the outcome than be let down because it wasn't what you were hoping for.

Above all, let go of your worries. Things aren't going to be the same forever, nor are they going to be constantly changing. Don't stress the things out of your control; just take everything day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Do not worry about the things you cannot control, do not worry about your future, do not worry about the judgmental people you'll meet.. keep your face towards the sunshine so the shadows stay behind you. Breathe and just be at peace with yourself, to be happy is to be free. Love yourself and your life; the vibes you give off attract the same in return. Radiate sunshine but never be eclipsed, and always have a full heart.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
