It's Important To Follow Your Dreams

There is so much importance to your dreams. They are your desires and hopes for yourself and your future. Dreams are something that you look forward to do your best to pursue. They help to shape you into who you want to be and hopefully, who you end up being.

There are so many things that can stand in your way to achieving your goals and dreams that it may seem like you will never get there. Sometimes the world may make you feel like your dream isn’t enough because you wont be making a million dollars or maybe because it doesn’t seem reasonable. But hey, good thing it’s not their life, and it’s your choice.

There are obstacles that everyone has to face and overcome. There can be struggles financially, physically, emotionally, and mentally. There are times that you hit rock bottom and don’t think that your dreams will ever be attainable, but they will. You can make it with some hard work and dedication. Don’t be discouraged because good things take time. You have to start at the bottom and work your way up, but this won’t necessarily be a bad thing for you. Starting from a low place will make you appreciate when you get to the top of that mountain.

Your dreams give you something to work for. They are something that you eventually reach by taking many steps. Working towards your dreams teaches you patience and determination. It helps to give you a purpose and helps with your own self-fulfillment. The satisfaction of finally reaching your goal is so sweet when you get there.

It’s important to follow YOUR dreams because its YOUR life. Happiness is something that we can create for ourselves and our dreams are a darn good place to start. Whether it’s a career, having a family, traveling, or anything else, don’t let anyone tell you that your dream is unreasonable or not worth it. Dreams are so important to your soul and identity, and I hope that everyone is able to live theirs and make their dreams their reality.

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.
