Why I decided to start a blog

26
Let's Blog
Huffington Post

I’ve recently started up a blog of my very own to try and help people with challenges they are facing in their faith, challenges in life and to share my travels. I have always loved to help people, and I felt that God kept putting it on my heart to start a blog in order to share His word and the amazing things that He can do.

I am writing this article not to self-promote, but to spread God’s word to as many people as I can through my blog. I’m planning to write about the struggles I’m going through at the moment and how God has helped me through them, fun lifestyle posts and I also want to share my travels with my readers, giving tips on traveling overseas or to a new state. My goal is to share with everyone the joy of God’s overflowing grace and how He can be with you in every aspect of your life. I have a passion for writing, and I always have, so I knew that starting a blog would be a great creative outlet for me. I love when I can write a blog post and have people walk away from it feeling reassured and have a newfound thirst for God or adventures.

I don’t want to force you to read my blog, but I encourage you that if you're having any struggles in life or faith, to check it out, or even if you aren't struggling but want to see travel or fun life posts. I will be posting on my blog every Monday and Thursday, while posting an Odyssey article every week to keep my content flowing. I want to continually push myself to put myself out there and have my content seen and make an impact. I don’t want to waste my life wishing I did more things, but instead actually have those things accomplished and live my life to the fullest. Having my own blog is just a step in that direction and I hope you will follow along.

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.
