Thank You To The People Who Helped Me See My Own Beauty

Thank You!

In a world where you are constantly told how worthless you are it is hard to find the few people that make you feel worth it. Sometimes the world makes you feel like you don't matter and that no one would care if you weren't there. Your family does the best they can to show you how loved you are but theres always a feeling inside of you that makes you feel worthless.Then all of a sudden a few people step into your life and they make you realize how special you are. This is my thank you to the people who saved me.

To the wonderful people who showed me what it is like to be loved. Thank you.

Your friendship has taught me that I can be loved. Ever since you walked into my life you have shown me what it means to be important to someone. Having each of you in my life has taught me that I am loved. You have taught me that I am a beautiful person that is worthy of life. You have shown me that being loved is something you shouldn't take lightly. Because of you all being by my side I have been able to over come whatever life has thrown at me. You have all stood by me as I faced struggles of high school and the fear of moving to college. Having you in my life has made me strong. Having a strong friend group to stand behind me and support me has made it easy to walk through life with my head held high.

Thank you for making me strong. Thank you for making me brave. Thank you for making me feel loved. Thank you for being the light that guided me through the dark.

I love you all so much and there are no words to express how thankful I am for each and every one of you.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
