Happy Monday

Here are a few bits of my happiness

Happy Monday

I've always been one of those people that don't have to look far for happiness. I was blessed with that special ability to just see it in people, places, animals, and even certain items. I know that some people have trouble with darkness, and feel that there is no happiness in the world. Here are a couple of reminders that there is so much happiness out there.

Happiness is:

the sun shinning, playing in the rain, eating salty french fries, sleeping on fresh sheets, having your toes in the sand, giving someone a gift and watching their face light up, drinking lemonade, going to a music festival, seeing the first snow of winter, coming home and telling your brother about your day, warm blankets, playing with puppies, kissing someone you love, going hiking, visiting your friend at her new school, holding a baby, putting on an old pair of cleats, napping, eating cotten candy, going to the zoo, watching someone grow, getting ready with your best friend, praying, socks, hammocking, sonic slushies, riding on an airplane, opening new makeup, visiting your grandparents, taking your hair down after a long day, painting, understanding your homework and having an unconditional love.

I could go on and on.

But that's just my list. You have to make your own, and look for small bits of happiness every day. You belong here. You belong on this earth. There are so many people that love you. Just look up, feel the sunshine, pet a dog, and breathe. Every day, you should look at it as one day at a time. You'll get through the darkness and find the path. Just keep going. Don't forget to pray about it.

Happy Monday!

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
