Hey Love,

I know that you feel like your world is falling apart. I know that you are at a loss for words because nothing you think or say will take the pain away. I'm so sorry that something or someone shattered the confidence that you used to feel and took your beautiful smile away. I can promise you one thing, it's all going to be okay. This loss that you have experienced- whether it's a romantic relationship, an ability, or a passion will change you for the better and will make you stronger if you let it.

You may not see that when it all first hits you. You're in shock, trying to figure out what life is going to be like from now on. I bet it feels like nothing will ever be the same, and truthfully, it won't. That's okay, in all honesty it's more than okay. because it's the best thing that could ever possibly happen to you. Heartbreak forces you to focus on yourself, not on what was lost. Whatever made you happy before can no longer do so, and now you're faced with a choice: tell yourself that you can't be happy without it, or find happiness within yourself.

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful. Take those extra few minutes each morning to put together that cute outfit. Wear that necklace you bought because you loved it, even though it has been sitting in you jewlery box. You don't need anyone else approving of who you are or what you look like. Yes, it's nice, but the admiration of someone else means little because admiring yourself is so much more important.

When you feel like crying, cry and then move on. It's important to acknowledge your feelings, but don't dwell on them. See that old friend, have a girls night out, talk to someone close to you about what you're feeling. I promise, you are not a bother. There are so many reasons to be happy and we don't even know it. Be proud of all that you accomplish, even the little things. Be positive and upbeat because even though you've learned that life doesn't always go the way you planned, there's still so much to smile about.

I know, it's a lot harder than it sounds. There's going to be days when heartbreak takes you over. But, there will be days when your heartbreak makes you stronger than you ever thought you'd be. Those are the days you'll be thankful for the struggle you endured, because it showed you how to be truly happy.

Keep your head up Princess,

I believe in you.

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?
