Noticeable artists are becoming famous off songs that have catchy choruses of partying, weed, or a good time, but I think the main thing that distinguishes a good artist from a great one is the message that the singer delivers. Alessia Cara’s popular new single, “Scars To Make You Beautiful” is memorable since it's a song with a great rhythm and nice beat conveying a powerful message.

The music video shows that we should not hide behind our scars,because whatever scars we have are what makes us different. Many people tell us to be afraid of what is different but differences are memorable. And Alessias new music video shows her audience that they should never be afraid to be themselves. The song's main focus is about self acceptance, and how hard it is nowadays for one person to love themselves fully. The song is called “Scars to your beautiful” since many men and women in society today believe that they must change who they are by altering their body or switching up the way the look to fit into society's expectations.

Certain quotes from the song stand out more than others. Quotes such as “No better you than the you that you are." For example, the music video focuses on the lives of many different people from transgender teens, to young adult cancer or a female with an eating disorder. All these different characters are exposed in the video to represent that whatever your situation or story you are beautiful in your own way and you must embrace your own beauty.


Whether internal or external scars, visible or invisible scars, these are the things that set you apart from one another, these are the things that make you beautiful.

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?
