Lies That Can Hurt You

Why Say Them?

Lies That Can Hurt You

I tend to ask myself and others, why do people lie when the truth is always in clear view? Is there really a true answer for that question? Lying will forever be in the DNA of human beings, but why over such stupid and obvious things? I, myself, have experienced the worst lies known to human kind. But why do I let it go? I sit there and let the lies be told yet I do nothing about it.

Ever since I have started dating (a very young age), I have heard all kinds of lies: I love you, I care about you, what will our wedding look like, all things that any girl wants to hear and always does hear. Sometimes those are lies and sometimes...there is a lucky girl that hears them and knows that they are true. But some lies are a lot worse than those simple common ones. For example, I am not snorting cocaine. I am not shooting up. I am not doing drugs. I am not cheating on you. These, these right here, these are more serious and can do a lot more harm than good.

It is probably the hardest thing to watch someone you love go down a path that will hurt themselves and everything around them. Although, it is even harder to watch them doing it and not being able to do anything about it. All I want to do is help you. I have personally never done drugs but I don't see how they would damage you enough to not seek or even want help.

Users may not know it, but there are always signs and proof to the ones trying to help. You can't always try to hide it because eventually, somewhere down your long line of lies...we know. We know what that vague white powder is. We know what those cut up straws are. We know what those little clear bags are. We know what that 24 hour runny nose is about. We know what a lot of sniffing is about. Users believe that we are stupid, when in reality, we are a lot smarter than you think and than you are.

I am speaking on behalf of all the guys and girls who are in sticky relationships. Where the only thing holding them back from being fully happy are those moments where you don't know what to do anymore because of the serious lies. Lies through my eyes are considered the border between wanting to marry someone and wanting to leave someone.

We all want to be that person who in 10 years, your partner looks to his friends and says, "she's the one who helped me. She's the one who got me through everything and made me who I am today." But in order to do that, all we can do it wait until our partner is fully ready to seek help. If the lies become violence towards you, please get out. Don't wait to be THAT girl that helped...don't get physically and emotionally run down by something that simple. Please.

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.
