I'm Not Sorry For Doing What Is Best For Me

I choose who I am, and I'm not sorry.

I'm Not Sorry For Doing What Is Best For Me
Kaylee Gates

I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry for being me. I'm not sorry for making the decisions to get to where I am today. I'm not sorry. But let me tell you, I do apologize when I am in the wrong. And I will admit when I'm wrong. But what I won't apologize for is being me.

I'm not sorry for being too nice

I'm the type of person that will give second, third, fourth, and fifth chances. I like to believe in the good in humanity. And in a world full of evil, I like to believe that everyone has good in them.

I'm not sorry for liking children more than adults

I would rather spend my day with a room full of children than a room full of adults. Want to know why? Because they are innocent. Those children believe in fairy tales, happily ever after, and everyone being a good guy. I would rather spend my day helping those kids believe in the magic versus the adults who know the evils of the world.

I'm not sorry for believing in Happily Ever After

Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust. Disney teaches you that. It also teaches you about happily ever after. And guess what? I believe in that, too. However, happily ever after doesn't mean married and children. Happily Ever After, to me, means you're achieving the goals that you set and working towards completing the next goal.

I'm not sorry for leaving people behind

If they aren't helping to make me a better person, then I don't want them in my life. If they are putting me down or getting in the way of my dreams, then I definitely don't want them in my life. There are certain people in my life that I want in my life, and if someone doesn't fit that mold, I'm not sorry for cutting them off.

I'm not sorry for doing what is best for me

From moving out of state to working through school, I'm not sorry for doing what's best for me. Moving schools, changing majors, going out on the town, and staying in and watching Netflix--I am happy doing what is best for me.

I'm not sorry for doing what is best for me, and you shouldn't be sorry for doing what is best for you. Cut people out of your life, move states, change schools, believe in Happily Ever After. Do what is best for you, and the rest will fall into place.

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.
