Does Life Really Want To Be Found?

Even Life needs a break now and then. Well, now more than ever.

Does Life Really Want To Be Found?
in5d: Esoteric Metaphysical Spiritual Database

On one hot, mid-August night, as the stars woke one by one to the furious winged beat of crickets and humidity slowly unfastened itself from around an arbitrary college campus, an anonymous sophomore went out in search of her close friend, Life.

Approximately 30 minutes later, it was reported that a very angry female was set loose around the University, mumbling something about forgetting her phone, keys, not to mention wallet, and if she had that said close friend, the keys would have been with her from the start.

“I don’t know who this ‘Life’ person is, but it seems like she really depends on them!” one bystander remarks, looking fearfully over their shoulder.

“However,” the eye witness continued, lowering their voice in a conspiratorial manner, “if you have seen somebody named, Dreams, let me know. She’s my best friend but ever since the start of my third year here, I just can’t seem to find her.”

Sneaking one more look at the subject in question and receiving a particularly nasty glare in return, the interviewee abandoned further questions and walked quickly to the nearest bus stop.

Meanwhile, the object at hand had now transformed into a raving student in full- “beast mode, dude!” an intoxicated young adult yelled out, stumbling across the school grounds.

Yes. The raving student was now in full ‘beast mode’, kitchen sinking the campus like there was no tomorrow. What she did not know, was that there would in fact, be a tomorrow. And many tomorrows after that. Several decades of tomorrows if she could only locate the three physical items that were essential to getting back home in one piece.

“…And another thing! Ever since I got here, you’ve been nothing but excuses! Oh the library won’t open because blah, blah, blah, the Wi-Fi won’t work because blah, blah, blah, this and that volunteer work won’t count because blah, blah, blah…well you know what?! Once I find Life, I’m getting outta here!”

Little did the student know that Life had taken one look at her collected emotional baggage, overly chaotic tendencies to dramatize everyday situations, failure to hold up even the slightest form of organizational skills not only around her living space, but around her very sphere of influence, that Life decided its entire presence would be ultimately pointless, not to mention, unnecessary.

Glaring at those who seemed to have gotten their existence together in a fairly quick manner, the sophomore finally accepted her key-less, phone-less, wallet-less situation, and gave up hope of ever being average.

Then again…who ever wanted to be average anyway?

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.
