Meditation And Drawing
Jacob Ruger

Hello!! I have been attempting to lead a life with less distractions to focus on friends, family, and school. In consequence to giving up most of social media, besides Odyssey and Facebook Messenger, I have been much more creative. Equipped with better tools, I have been able to create drawings that are much more sharp and clean looking!
Unlike my previous article on my top favorite drawings this article is going to focus on my most recent drawing as of Monday, March 13th. Also I am going to show you the drawing first and allow you to think about what it looks like to you and your opinion of it. Before moving on to the rest of the article I want you to hold on to that opinion and comment below what your initial thoughts where. This weeks drawing is a bit more straight forward than ones I have made before but I hope you still enjoy!


So this drawing is pretty simple and not too abstract. Nonetheless this drawing still is significant to me. Much like meditating, drawing helps me clear my mind and release a lot of stress and anxiety. Most of the time I can not simply sit still. I am just too fidgety, but if I begin to draw I become the most calm and focused people will ever see me. The person is sitting in a position that is facing away from the light. The reason why I chose this position was because I like the idea of feeling the world around you rather than seeing it. When I sit in direct sunlight, I usually sit facing away not only because it sometimes is difficult to see but also to truly feel the warmth of the light. I still close my eyes and feel the light wash over me and change the air around me bringing me to a new state of awareness of my environment. Let me know if any of you do this as well! I know the drawing isn't perfectly proportioned but as I continue to practice and receive advice from others on how to improve then one day I will reach an even better state of expression. Thank you for reading and remember to comment what you initially thought of the drawing.

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.

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.
