Move On

For a better you.

Move On

Some advice that I always receive has always reminded me that moving on from situations that no longer serve you, benefit you or make you happy are not worth your time. For those that are soon going to be entering their twenties — listen up, this is especially for you.

As we hit this age, a constant worry if we're doing the right thing is a weight on our shoulders nearly 24/7. Some thing that I do want to remind you is that not everyone's success is achieved throughout the same journey. I might go through hell and back while ending up where I intend to be, meanwhile the next person has everything and anything given to them. That's just the way life is. With this, comes the tendency to cling on to old relationships just because apparently "you're too old to take interest into other people" or settling for the person you're with now is what you were brought up to do. With jobs are the same thing. Do not feel like you have to stay at a job for the simple fact that it pays well and has great benefits. If you're miserable there and dread getting ready every morning — it is a clear sign that that occupation is not for you. You're not happy, move on.

I want to see you step outside of your comfort zone. Moving on from old jobs, relationships, friends and etc. is not a bad thing. Prosperity is something that I would like to see more become comfortable with actually. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is something that takes time with — yes, but rarely results in failure. Try to go above all means necessary with the next goal that you intend for yourself. If this one didn't work out, there's no need to need to get frustrated and give up right then and there. New opportunities will then be flourished in your life and you will meet new people with more inspiring stories.

On the other hand we have the old saying "if you wanted it bad enough, you'd have it by now" — and I disagree with this. I want you to keep in mind that your and everyone else's scenario is different, and there is nothing wrong with starting from nothing. I think that makes your success even more beautiful. Like I've said before — everyone's journey is different; and I'm pretty sure you've caught on by now that life is not necessarily fair. Think about how you will look back at all you have done and how proud you will become. Introduce yourself to patience and you see how well your attitude on certain things change.

Work hard and stay focused. Everything is in divine order.

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
