A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Two seconds can lead to life-long memories.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you look at a picture, you’ll remember those times and those memories. You’ll remember details about that memory - what you were wearing, what you said, how you felt and so much more. I am not saying to live life through your phone and never take your eyes off the screen because you are so busy taking pictures; All I am saying is that you should document your memories through life to remember them in the long run. All it takes is less than two seconds to snap a picture and have it in your memories forever.

From the major events in your life to the bittersweet ones, snapping a quick picture goes such a long way. Whether it be a video at your favorite artist’s concert or a Snapchat of a funny event that happened to you, document it. It is amazing how much happiness you can feel when you come upon a memory of a time where you simply thought life was amazing. Those moments are not always apparent in life. So, it is important to always have memorable memories there to make you remember how you felt in that time.

Looking back at the times when you had so much fun is truly the best feeling. It allows you to live in the present but remember the past so that it continues to make you happy. So, next time you are having just the time of your life, take a quick picture of it. Two seconds on the camera can lead to remembering memories filled with fun, laughter and happiness.

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.
