Life's Little Moments: Everything Leads To Something Else
Performance Marks

Our lives are made up of moments that are both big and small. Each one in our lives decides the next moment. No matter what it is, no matter how big or small you may think the moment may be, it has the chance to flip your world upside down. This moment could be anything from being 5 seconds behind a car that was hit head on to being older, married, and having your first child. Whatever this small “insignificant” moment is, it brings you to where you are supposed to be today.

Darius Rucker released a song called “This” in 2010. The song discusses that he doesn’t care about what happened in his past, but rather than what did happen brought him to the point of his life that he enjoys. In the chorus he talks about how every stoplight he didn’t make and every chance he did or he didn’t take, he Thanks God for all that he missed because it all led him to the point in his life that he loves.

As you go through life and find that something you really wanted didn’t go the way you planned, don’t fret over it because there is something better coming your way. There have been many times where I wasn’t given the opportunity I wanted, but then I received a better opportunity.

Being a young adult, we experience moments that lead us to where we are supposed to be after we graduate and later in life. Mistakes happen, hearts get broken, and if we don’t experience those moments while were young, we won’t get to the point in our lives that we love so much as early as we do now.

Everyone leads a different life, everyone’s moments occur at different times, and those moments lead each person to the point in their lives where they are supposed to be. While some of these moments are sad and others are happy, they all occur based on the life that you are supposed to lead.

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?
