To The People Who Care Too Much

Here's a little something for the people who have been told they "care too much".

To the people who "care too much" about anything and everything, there isn't much you wouldn't do for others and I think that is something to be proud of. I know a handful of you and I know there are many out there in this world who have been told to stop being "so emotional" or to stop "caring so much", but I think you're great just the way you are.

To the people who "care too much" about people who have left them or never stayed to get to know them, I am proud of you. You may always care about them, but know that it's not your fault they missed out on an opportunity to get to know someone who is as great as you are.

To the people who "care too much" about academics, there is nothing wrong with wanting to succeed. I know some people may say that you're too focused or that you should lighten up and have some fun, but you are focusing on something that is going to better you for the future. Never let someone try to convince you that your hard work isn't worth something. Everything you are working on has a purpose and I'm proud of you for wanting to do great things.

To the people who "care too much" about music, play on. If you love music and it's your passion, don't let others tell you it's a waste of time. If music allows you to express why you are the way you are, or why you do certain things, keep showing the world through your compositions.

To the people who "care too much" about people who don't want them, it's going to be okay. If you think that no one will ever want you, know that someone will. It may or may not be soon, but know that you are not alone. You have friends and family who want you in their life and they are happy to have you around.

To the people who "care too much" about loved ones they've lost, you are allowed to be upset and grieve anyway you need to. You are a strong person who, just like everyone else, needs time to come to terms with this loss. You will make it through this.

To the people who "care too much", you are allowed to feel what you want to feel and never let anyone tell you different. They don't know how you react or respond to certain events or people in your life. If you feel strongly about something that someone else doesn't, that doesn't mean you're weird or too emotional. I know sometimes it may seem like caring so much can cause you heartache or problems, but keep caring because there are people out there who are grateful for your kind heart and your thoughtfulness.

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.

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.
