Mama, I Pray That God Brings You Joy and Happiness

Mama, for I am in this world is because of you.

You gave birth to me, you clothed me when I was little, and you prepared me for life. You are a sweet angel to me and my little brother. You have given me so much and expect back so little. You taught me everything. For that, I am here to pray and be the best version of myself because you are a driving force in my life.

Mama, I pray for God to bless you.

May God grant you with richness. Richness in wealth, love, and happiness. May God grant you with patience for the things that you have dreamt in life but have not come true. I wish for your heart to be soft and strong for the obstacles you’re going to face in life. The power to look at situations in many lenses. The calamity in life through the ups and downs.

Mama, at night, I sometimes wish you were with me.

I am fond of your company. I pray to God that you are well. I hope God lessens you're pain and brings back that cheerful smile on your face.

You have given me the life that I always dreamt of. There are times when I was blinded to that, however, you always reminded me how lucky I am to be me. I wouldn't ask for another life without you.

Forgive me for my shortcomings, as I forgive yours too. Forgive me for my imperfections in the past, present, and future. Mama, you are my world. For everything I do is for you. I want to make you proud.

I hope you believe that you are made for greatness. You will always be my person, I love you to the infinity and beyond.

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.
