When you look at a tree, what do you see? (Oh, look, I'm Seuss)

I know, I know. You see a tree. But, do you see just the tree? Or is there more to it?

You're probably think, "A tree is a tree. Of course I see a tree when I look at a tree. You make no sense."

I don't. I mean, sure, it's a true, and a nice one at that. But, I also see the branches the consume space, and each little twig branching off of it. I see the pattern in the bark and the little bugs that call the tree it's home. I see the tree's beauty.

I like to believe it's because I have an artsy eye. I adore the beauty of simple things, and imagine the work of art they are, and could become. I'm blown away by some of the ideas I get from looking as a mere tree.

My artistic eye is my favorite thing about me. It makes my world brighter. I couldn't imagine staring t a tree and just thinking "So tall" or "Thanks for helping be breathe, buddy". No thank you.

I love that have the capability to make things that I picture. I'm painted so many quotes, mixed so many pictures, created so many ads for minuscule things, and I've turned song lyrics into typography happiness.

Art makes me so happy.


Now, I know a lot of people don't have the eye for some things (or the ear if we're talking music). In my years of art, so many people have said "I wish I had an artistic bone in my body" or "I just don't really see things like that". And that honestly makes me sad.

How could someone not see something in a way that looks 10x more beautiful. I don't think it should be legal. It's just not right.

If you're a person that doesn't really have an eye for this kind of stuff, I'm so sorry. I hope you do have something that makes you happy though. Maybe someday, someone can show you how they see things. Until then, you do you, and be happy.

I hope everyone does things that make them happy. Art just happens to be mine.

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.
