Living in the moment.

Breathe In… Breathe out… It’s good to do this sometimes. Just FYI.

Okay, now that we got that over with, here goes:

Most people plan their days ahead, set a menu, and make sure they know everything that's to come. I wish I was like that, and I try to be like that... Epic fail!

Though frankly I think it would be rather boring if I knew what I was having for each meal and knew where I was going every day. I let life surprise me, and one day it may make take me to Honolulu or something- who knows!

It's fun getting lost in life, singing along to the radio, and not knowing what will come next! Maybe one day I'll be working and the next I'll get fired. These things happen and they're what make life so enthralling! We all have a story and even writers have no idea how it will end. All we can do is read the story- but not in the dark, cuz that'll ruin your eye-sight (If anyone reading this knows if this fact is true, please let me know know).

I can sometimes go about my life as I know it, and then I realize that I've forgotten everyone. I don't mean to do it, I just get absorbed in my work until someone pulls me out. It's the quality of an introvert. Although I'd like to think I'm an extroverted introvert. I like being spoiled as an introvert by not having to deal with people, but I do enjoy social interaction and connecting with people (but don't tell that part to anyone who isn't reading this!).

Anyways, it can be scary not knowing what will happen next or if you can trust the universe to lead you to a good place. But I believe that we live in a good world where everyone wants to be happy and everyone likes me (so obviously they live you too, cuz I can feel that you are way cooler than I am).

Maybe if we would say hi to and smile at convicts they'll forget for a second they are troubled and they'll leave the dark side....

Yes, people have often told me that I need to be serious and realize the seriousness in life, but I just don't live like that. I don't want to feel the pain of others and realize that they really are suffering (if I can't do anything about it). Because if my nose hurts, punching yours won't help. When I do go out of myself and realize the suffering in life, I feel the pain. I feel it deeper than you would and I don't know what to do with it.

I just can't help anyone when I'm in pain. But if I'm happy, maybe I can cheer someone up who was hurting and give them the internal strength to make it through another day. Maybe, just maybe... (A woman, or man, can dream- right?)

So yes, some people are stronger than I am. They don't shiver when it's cold or get nightmares from the news. But I cry with the rain and dance with the birds, and try not to feel down.

So to all you strong people out there, we each have a place in the world and your strength inspires many. I could definitely use some of it in my life! So keep being you and doing what you do! Let's rock the world together and help each other out!! Let's leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren! (After that, I can't guarantee too much, cuz...)

Here's a tidbit of information so that you can gain even more from this article (wow, this is just the best deal ever!): If you live in New York, 31% of the electricity that you use comes from nuclear fuel... I just found this on Google and I never knew it before, so cooll!!

See you all next week!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
