I Miss Being Little Sometimes

Being little made life more exciting, and when we reminiscence on those days we start to miss it a little.

Growing up because harder each day. Life continually throws curves balls towards us in every aspect of life.

When I was younger, Playing dolls was life. Going outside was a daily thing. Being my mom's little tag along buddy was the best. Boys were just friends. Christmas was more exciting. Things were simple and easier as a child.

Growing up came upon me very quickly. Cell phones were never important to me until I reached the age of "omg he's cute" or when the "clicks" became a thing. Bras were never important. Fixing my hair was never important. Making sure I looked good or was in style was never important. None of those things were important to me until I started to become a teenager.

Growing up is hard. Growing up comes with responsibility and challenges. Being the sweet innocent kid was me for a while until I decided to come out of my comfort zone. Which I do not regret. The smallest things did not matter to me when I was young, but they do now. I care too much about stupid boys. I care too much about a lot of things. I think most of us girls do today. No one ever told me that life is going to be easy, because it isn't. The tears I used to cry when I was younger were over a boo-boo, not a boy or a test. Crazy how our feelings enhance right? We all started off as kids who could care less about someone loving them, and now we spend nights wondering or hoping that our crush realizes us.

In life, we make choices either right or wrong. We make mistakes. It is apart of growing up. Everything you do in your life has a purpose, and you might think "why though" but trust me everything happens for a reason. We all miss those younger and easier days. But one day the stress you are having right now, will not last for long.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.
