Hunger

Stay hungry in order to improve.

Hunger
www.ex3matters.com

This hunger should come from deep inside you, resonating in your bones. Driving you to get more, accomplishing more is what this hunger is meant to do. If you are full, content with yourself, then you will never move. Constantly changing — not necessarily progressing — is the world around us, and if we are full we will just “go with the flow.” Find that energy inside of you to push yourself forward; continue to look for more “food.” Your appetite should never be satisfied because, while you try your best, you are never actually at your best. Your best can always be better so why would settle for anything less? Expect more from yourself than you expect from anyone else because if there is anything that life can teach you it is that you get more resistance from others than you do for yourself.

You should grow to enjoy feeling unsatisfied in your place in life, but also enjoying it and being proud. However, enjoy being unsatisfied so you can constantly improve yourself positively rather than regressing from folding underneath the pressure and stress. A person cannot grow if they do not move throughout the world and throughout themselves, internally. In order to grow, you also have to continue to learn yourself; you are always changing the world, adapting to the society around you so you must learn to be aware of these internal changes. The hunger should not only be applied to your place in the world but also to your place inside your mind. Sometimes your subconscious thoughts can push out your conscious ones, taking over your perceptions. Fight this filler because what your mind needs is to be reinforced by your legitimate reality.

Always remain hungry so you can search for better food. Find within yourself the motivation to improve. It should an internal drive which forces you to move on to better places in life and within your mind. Never remain full for too long because you may just be settling, but even the best can get better so why can’t 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.

"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.

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