You Need To Let Go In Life To Find Out Who You Are Meant To Be

Let go of the things that make you question your self worth. Let go of things that make you unhappy.

You Need To Let Go In Life To Find Out Who You Are Meant To Be

In life, we always we meet people who come off as the best person ever or we try new things that excite us at first but have us unhappy later on. We have all been in a situation were forgive and give back into the same thing that hurt us in the first place. Why do we do this to ourselves? Is it to always have someone by our side or just because we want to be nice?

I have learned that grudges get you nowhere in life, so let things go and move on from them. Yes, the thought of what made you have that grudge in the first place will always be there, but control your actions towards it because lowering yourself to the person or something that hurt you will not help you.

Life is full of mistakes and unwanted heartbreaks, but can we control it? I can answer that with a yes and a no. But the thing is when you first meet someone they can be a totally completely different person until you actually get to know them. Life has a funny way of showing us who are meant to stay and who is meant to go. But that is the joy of life. If your life was perfect would it be interesting? Maybe or maybe not. I believe that the best life is lived with no regrets.

Let go of the unhappy thoughts, moments, and anything that makes you unhappy. Let go of the toxic people in your life. Find happiness. Try new things, it is okay to be afraid. Either you get hurt and grow from it or you fall in love and cherish it. Let go and let God.

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.

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.
