As time passes, we meet new people. We do not expect to see them coming. Certain people come at a certain time. They will change your perspective of the world and teach you new things. Some new things are related to your career goals while other new things are not related to your career goals. These other new things can be little and simple things like learning how to play a sport and learning how to swing on a rope.

When meeting new people, we learn to see the good in others. It helps us build trust in others. It also helps us embrace diversity because we see that stereotypes are not true. We meet at least one person that does not fulfill the stereotype. We learn that people are different from those that they are categorized with.

We learn that we can talk to people that we think are hard to make a conversation with. People say that we should stick to those who have the same interests, mindset, and culture only because it is easier to talk to them. However, we learn that people who are different from us unexpectedly have a connection with us. They like similar things that we like, and there is something from them that we can learn from that can help us improve our lifestyle.

New people can take us to more places that we have never been to before. Experiencing new places expands our knowledge and experience. We go out of our comfort zone and see a different place that is better than where we are always staying at.

We should be grateful to the people that we meet for all the knowledge and experience that they gave us. We will not meet all people in the world, but we will meet those that we will meet.

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.
