To New Beginnings

The start of a fresh journey

To New Beginnings

Since I write 24/7, at the end of every month I'm taking a single line from each day that I journal and I'm going to add to create a poem depicting how I was feeling that day. So this is what January has been for me.

Check out the video I made of all the shenanigans I got up to this month!

January: New Beginnings

We made it, enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in me.

Things are really coming together.

Moving along with what I needed to do next.

Today is the day.

Another day bites the dust.

I fell, hard last night and I was okay with it.

I’m still home and in paradise.

Fasting & praying is key.

Things are good, again, I give it to God.

I got way too much stuff on my mind and I don’t know how to write it all down.

I feel good, but my heart still feels torn.

I’ve gotten over what I needed to and moved on.

Since being back here I’ve changed my mindset.

The worst part was him, it always was him.

My brain won’t turn off again.

People have been reaching out.

God paves the way.

I am exhausted.

Waking up in his presence, I readily picked up my devotional.

Growing requires patience.

My brain is on fire.

I feel beaten, battered & bruised but I have a lot more fight left in me.

I dreamt of him last night again.

Nobody can tell me what to do.

Time has been slowing down and I’m not patient enough.

“Slow and Steady wins the race” they say.

Continuous flow of concentrated passion penetrated my mind.

I’m not sure if it’s my mania that makes me be a force to be reckoned with.

I'm just getting started and I'm so blessed for all the cool things I've gotten to experience throughout the month.

Here's to Feb!

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.
