For The Girl Who Doesn't Know What She Wants

It's okay to not have a clue.

It's okay not to have clue what you want in life. In fact, I would be extremely suspicious of someone who claims to have it all figured out. Life throws crazy curve balls and it's more than likely you will be caught by surprise. Some of these surprises could become blessings or lessons, but neither of these things are bad.

Life is unpredictable, and that's okay. It's the unpredictability that makes it interesting. Don't ever allow anyone to discourage you because of your inability to decide what it is that you want out of life. There will be days where your thoughts will be rambling through your mind and you will decide you want to do a million things, and there will be days where your mind will draw a complete blank, and none of those things you previously wanted will seem to be of any importance anymore. That's okay. The day will come when your passion in life will be brought to your attention when you least expect it. Just like anything in life, it's important to be patient.

It's understandable that this issue we face as young women who are expected to achieve greatness at whatever cost will stress you out. However, just remember that your propose in life is on its way to you. There will be a day where you will be able to look back on this time and wish you could have known what was ahead of the road. Where you will laugh at your sleepless nights and naive thoughts.

Because we are women, we are expected to know everything, have a plan for it, and be organized. This expectation is unfair and it's a lot to live up to. Just remember to stay focused and stay positive. Prove to yourself that you can achieve greatness and forget about what others expect and what they think. You will be truly successful once you are happy with yourself and your accomplishments. Do not doubt yourself!

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.
