optimism vs  pessmism

Are we all always optimist towards things. Do we have to be optimistic towards everything? What does optimism really mean? Why being optimistic is so important to everyone? Is it bad to be pessimistic? Why people think that pessimistic is bad?

There are so many questions about these two concepts; optimism and pessimism. Why do we want to apply these concepts to our lives and wonder if we are leading our life in a correct path. Are there any right or wrong answer?

These concepts will give an idea of what we think about ourselves and how we are leading our lives. Optimism means if you even have a hard time, you still have the power to fight back. Pessimism means even if your life is filled with little problem, then you think, it is the end of the world.

These two concepts can change your life. By changing the way you think, the way you process things, the way you take things in, and the way you take actions after you think. Your life will change entirely, if you become a little optimistic in your lives.

At first being optimistic can be hard because thinking everything can be ok is hard, but the reality is everything turns around to be ok. It is hard to believe that that's how life works, but mostly life is not evil as you think. For instance, you got fired from your job. The possible two ways to handle this situation is to find a new job or sit on your cozy couch and think the world coming against you.

You making the decision of getting a new job is being optimism. By changing your thoughts, you found something productive in your life. Again, losing a Job is not the end of the world. You are living your life in your ups and downs.

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.
