For The Person That Wished They Had a New Year's Kiss

We've never been so frustrated about meeting an 11:59 deadline.

Inner thoughts on New Year's Eve: "Move to the closest person near you at 11:59, a couple side smirks and rocks to the music. Look at me ! Yes eye contact ! The chemistry's there? Yes. So i'm good. OK ! He/She knows why I'm right here... Here goes nothing... BLAM ! -- kissed ! Good Luck all year. *does the Carlton Dance"

Hey you !

If you were wondering, the picture above was basically me on New Year's. No, not the couple, but the girl on the side holding the drinks HaHa ! Seeing almost everyone kiss around you is the face of receiving pajamas as a Christmas gift for the third year in the row:

So, you didn't get your kiss for the start of 2017 ? That's OK ! Its just superstition anyways. Growing up, New Year's was all about having fun, drinking soda, and being with family and friends. Notice, how all of these superstitions didn't mean anything until we became conscious-understanding (young) adults. Fast forward to now, If you've done research online you've seen that there are a multitude of articles that tell us that we can get good luck in love ALL YEAR LONG if we kiss when the clock strikes 12.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen for everyone. If you're reading this, then it may not have happened to YOU. I can assure you that there's no "bad luck" associated with not receiving a kiss. I've heard of many other New Year's traditions that could affect your year such as: eating 12 grapes, wearing multiple colored underwear, cooking blackeyed peas, greens, and pork. Did you do one of those or have your own?There's a good 7 times out of 10 chance that the special girl or guy that you were hoping to kiss, could very well have been kiss-less too, so there's still hope for you two !

That's just one night, but if you continue to bring your great value and qualities along with you into 2017 then you'll find happiness. Tons of things fall under happiness. Make yourself first this year, learn a new language, do more of your favorite hobby, travel, learn yourself and learn to love and give love to others.

May your new year be blessed, and filled with less stress.

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on. - Carrie Underwood

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.
