This time is hard for everyone, and it's really hard to keep your head up when you're not really sure what's going to happen tomorrow or even in the next few days. How I get through it, though, is with prayer. I know that no matter what is going on in the world, I always have God on my side.

I know it's tough for everyone, but my heart especially goes out to those who feel like they have nowhere to turn. I am praying for you, whether you are religious or not. I am praying for every single person on this earth to find safety and to keep their faith during these hard times.

I encourage those of you who are anxious and have no where to turn to get the Bible app and start a devotion about faith, download a book that will help you push past anxiety, or even call up a friend or family member and ask them to pray for you during this time.

It won't be easy; some of us may be dealing with a lot more hardship than others, but this is the time for us to come together as a community and pray. Pray for your loved ones, for your state, for your country, for our leaders and first responders - it matters so much just to keep them in our thoughts but reaching out and letting them know you're thinking of them means so much more.

I guess what I'm saying is, the way for us all to keep our faith during this crazy time of uncertainty is to not lose sight of the God who created us and to not emotionally isolate ourselves. Reaching out is how we can keep our community alive and well during this time. Even if everything around us stops, our prayers and communication don't have to.

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.
