A Loved One In Heaven

Watch Over Us

A Loved One In Heaven

Hey, everyone! I was planning on writing a different article this week, but the past couple days have been a little rough. While living on campus, I am surrounded by classes, homework, and work. My family understands that I do not have much free time, so it is hard to find time to talk to them. On Thursday, I found out that one of my great uncles had passed away.

I have a hard time when it comes to dealing with my emotions. Losing a loved one makes it even worse for me. Understanding that I have a hard time with my schedule and how hard I have to work, it tore me apart to notice that I will be unable to make it to the funeral due to my most difficult classes being on that day.

So, I was thinking about this.

Heaven Watching Us:


To The Angels In Heaven,

Take care of our loved ones as the venture your way.

Watch over them as they have watched over us.

Shower them with love and happiness as they remember the good days they had in life.

Give them peace for many have struggled in life.

Teach them your ways as they become angels over their family.


To The Loved One In Heaven,

You left before we had time to properly say goodbye.

Tears shed down our cheeks as we whisper our love to you.

This horrendous pain may be forever or may be a few days,

Yet we will continue on with life until it is our time to join you.

While we wait, become our guardian angels and watch over us with a smile on your face.


To The Loved One Who Is Now a Guardian Angel,

Watch over us as we discover the simple joys in life that you found during your time.

Smile down on us when we find love and happiness.

Spread your mystical light before us when we are lost,

And never leave our sides.

Let us feel your presence and love to let us know that we are never alone.

Wait for the day to rejoice when we are by your side again.

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.
