Life Lessons From The Ocean

The sounds of the ocean are soothers to the soul. The pounding waves are filled with friendly reminders about ways to simply live our lives in peace and never give up.

1. Roll with the waves.

Everything happens for a reason and sometimes it is best to not question every little thing that pops up in life. Rather, just roll with what life throws our direction like the waves rolling in the sea.

2. Don't be shellfish.

Everybody is fighting a battle behind the scenes. Try not to be so quick to judge others. The ocean invites everyone in with grand waves!

3. Sea the beauty everywhere.

Not only is the beach is a beautiful place, the whole world is a beautiful place. Breathtaking minds and views surround us daily and a gaze into the horizon is a reminder that there is so much more out there for us.

4. Never stop.

The waves never stop kissing the sand so you should never stop chasing your dreams and building toward your goals.

5. Don't stop treading.

When life hits you from behind, like a wave knocking you off your feet, stand up stronger and prepared for what lies ahead.

6. Explore.

With so much of our oceans undiscovered, we are reminded to never settle and alway go after what we truly want because odds are, it is out there.

7. Dive fearlessly into adventure.

Just like when diving under a crashing wave, you close your eyes, hope for the best, rise up and always want to do it again.

8. Step with care.

The possibility of a crab resting on the ocean floor is always present. Just like you must step with caution in order to prevent hurting the crab or risk the carb hurting you, be kind to others. Treat everyone with respect and respect will be given to you.

9. Watch out for sharks.

It is important to be able to stand up for yourself and notice when a person is trying to hurt you. If you keep an eye out for the deceitful and avoid them, you will most likely be able to live more confidently and comfortably.

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?
