To the empowered woman reading this,

You have endured unspeakable pain and despite your scars, you surpass every obstacle. You rise with strength and power that radiates off of you with brilliance. Each foot you place on the ground is with purpose and intention. When your feet lift off the ground you dance with every part of your soul. With every spin and every jump you feel invincible. There is nothing you can't do.

Sometimes being strong is the only choice you have, and the world thanks you for making this choice. Because you're strong, the world is changing for the better.

With every breath, fire escapes your mouth and ignites the ears of those around you. Your words are powerful and honest. You radiate with light and you influence every person you meet. You are unwavering in your beliefs and you are mature enough to respect others' opinions. Loud or soft, your voice is a sound wave that never fluctuates.

People are drawn to you with a force stronger than gravity. You are loved, feared, liked, and even hated, but your head remains high and your shoulders strong. People would love to see you fall. You ignore these people and focus on the ones who are there for you when you hold the power of the world within your clutch.

Most importantly, you are okay with yourself. Being alone does not mean you're lonely. You indulge in time that you have to be with yourself. You do not need a man or woman by your side to feel complete. You love who you are. You own it. Finding a significant other who respects your power and is not threatened by your strength is rare, and that's okay with you. You know that whether or not you find this person you will be fine because you have your strength to fall back on.

Never feel ashamed of the power and strength that you embody. Strut down every sidewalk and smile at every person who glares towards your direction. You are more than the judgments society creates about you. You believe in controversial topics like feminism and you are not afraid to speak your mind. You are brilliant and unstoppable.

Stay strong. Stay true to you. Change the world.

Love,

A strong woman with a message

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.
