Toxic Relationships: Don't Settle!

It is not fair to yourself to settle for anything less than you deserve

There comes a point in your toxic relationship where you start to question everything. You wonder if this is all worth it and you wonder if you want to keep trying to make things work, but the answer is right there in front of you: no. If your relationship is toxic, then no, it is not worth it; no you don't have to try to make things work anymore. Why continue to put yourself through hell for someone who isn't worth all that unnecessary trouble? You can do better, you will do better.

Stop settling for the lousy humans who don't treat you the way you deserve to treated. You deserve someone who is going to throw a lasso around the moon to give to you, not someone who is going to make you upset every day. There is a human out there for you who is going to bring you so much joy and happiness that there is no point settling for someone who isn't going to do that for you. Your life is too important to not enjoy every second of it and someone who drags you down doesn't belong there.

Don't settle for anyone who makes you feel less about yourself. Don't settle for anyone who is going to make you question the type of person you are. Don't settle for anyone who is trying to change you or the life that you are living. Don't settle for someone who doesn't want to do any of your favorite things. Don't settle for someone who doesn't bring a smile to your face when you see them after a long day.

You need to realize your worth and let go of anything that is holding you back. There is a human out there for you who is going to be perfect and the human for you, stop settling for someone who makes you feel like hot garbage. Start focusing on yourself and what is going to be the best for you. It's not worth it to be miserable in any relationship or in anything that you're doing, so it's time for you to move on. Don't settle for anything or anyone less than you deserve.

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.
