A Little Darkness May Spark Some Light
Kei Nomiyama

Darkness, then a thump. And then no whisper, no sound at all. Dead silence was felt all throughout my hollow bones. I had no one to go to. I was left with a undefined being of a soul.

Weightless I floated, breathless I waited.

What was next could come at any moment or at any instant.

I wanted to know what was going to happen. Because in the next few moments of this life my future would be decided forever.

And I'm off, Five Mississippi, breaths are slowly inhaled and exhaled.

Four Mississippi, my fingers start to lose feeling.

Three Mississippi, I start to whimper as I'm about lose all sanity in what is this so called reality.

Two Mississippi, impatiently waiting ever so slightly for this treacherous experience to begin.

Then, one Mississippi, my heart leaves my ever dying soul.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, then bang, it hit me. Like a concrete wall being plowed through by a freight train. Just lying there ever so painfully knowing what just occurred, tormenting me like nothing ever could. Coming to a conclusion within myself as to what I just witnessed and what I just felt was something that not only could be not thought of, but something that plagues all of what has been dreamt of. I realized that in that mind killing and heart compressing moment that what I had once loved was now just an inevtiable mystery for someone else to solve.

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.
