Loneliness Is Something I Only Like With Deal With Every Few Months

Life hurts when you are alone

Loneliness Is Something I Only Like With Deal With Every Few Months
Desmond Williams

So, I was recently told by a friend of mine that, she thought I was gay the first time we met. I am not bothered by this, I am just wondering if every girl thinks this about me. I guess I don't help because I am always making jokes that question which sex I like. I am totally straight, I look at men, sometimes, but I like females. Sometimes. I have never been in a relationship, but trust me I like females.

The reason that I am talking about this topic is because I have felt loneliness for most of my life. Like I said, I haven't been in a relationship, like ever. I don't count the online relationships that I've had as real because there wasn't any emotional involvement . Being single is fun at times, but when you are single for a majority of your life, that is a different story. You get accustomed to being alone, but there are times when you feel bad, like you aren't worth anything. That no one wants you and that you should change that. I don't know how many times that I deleted and downloaded Tinder off my phone.

Love is just an unseen seed that should be able to grow and flourish, but because I avoid it, I never see it and it can't get nourishment. This is how I feel at times and it is sad that I feel this way, but it is the truth. Look into the eyes of the person you love and keep looking to find the thing that you will hold onto forever. Inside those eyes are a hidden persona that they will only show to the person that they hold deep and you better hope that you are that person because if you aren't, why are you there.

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.
