It's Not You Against The World
http://2m2h.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

It seems like everything is going wrong and everyone is mad at you. Your whole world is crashing down on you and you alone. Nothing is going the way you planned it to and you feel as if you aren't good enough for anything. It's okay. Your world is not over, you are good enough, and things are going to get better.

So things aren't going the way you planned or wanted them to go? That is okay. Things happen in our lives that we have no control over. We have no way of changing them or preparing for them. They just happen. What we can control is how we react and what we do after. React to the horrible thing that happened. It's okay to cry and to show that you're upset. Never be ashamed of your emotions. Stop bottling that up, it's going to make you feel worse. Take that sadness, that emotion, and turn it into a solution. Do not let things ruin your life. Everything is temporary, even the pain you feel. It will subside and you can learn how to adapt.

You are good enough. ALWAYS. Stop thinking you aren't. And chances are, you're the only one who thinks that. You are good enough for that man/woman, you are good enough for that job, that college, that class. You will always be good enough. Just because you were not chosen for something doesn't mean you aren't enough, that just means that you weren't right for it. And there is nothing wrong with that, but never think that it's because you weren't ever enough. You were too much and you need to start believing that.

It is not you against the world. It is you against yourself. Be on your own team and root for yourself because if you don't, who else can you count on? Be kind to yourself, please. You deserve kindness, you deserve happiness. Things get rough and you will get hurt, there is no stopping that. But please do not let yourself be one of those things. The world is here for you, now you have to start being there for yourself too.

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. 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.
