You may not see it yourself, but you're one of the most genuine people I have ever encountered in my lifetime.

You are selfless, thoughtful, vibrant, and caring. It's rare to find a person like you these days.

Although I haven't known you a great deal of time, you always remind me how beautiful I am on the inside and the outside. You always point out not only mine but others positive qualities as well. You always give me advice on various things, whether I ask for it or not. Everyone needs a friend like you in their life.

Now, I am going to give you a piece of advice:

Stop searching high and low for love.

Like I mentioned before, you are one of the most genuine and beautiful people I have met. I know it literally kills you inside to be single, but I have seen you go through too many heartbreaks and seeing that, kills me. I tell you time and time again how so-and-so doesn't deserve you and that you're better than him. It's a seemingly endless go around of you meeting a guy, whether it be in person, on Tinder, or a mutual friend, getting your heartbroken after things don't work out, me trying to console you the best that I can, then you telling me about a new guy you met.

Instead of focusing on finding your soul mate right this second, go find yourself. You're young, go out and enjoy what you have as a single woman. Find what makes you happy, find what you're passionate about, find what makes you, YOU.

When you find yourself and learn to love yourself, someone one else will come along who will love you more than any previous boy has before.

I want you to find love just as much as you want it, but you need to learn to love yourself before anyone else can.

Now go be single and content. Enjoy your 20's. Do crazy things with your friends. Go on adventures. Go see the world. But most importantly, love yourself.

Xoxo

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?
