Hey...

I just wanted to stop by and remind you:

Sometimes, those days happen.

Those days were the negative thoughts come, you feel stuck, you just don't want to continue anymore.

Sometimes, these emotions control your mind, and makes you feel like God made a hiccup in your creation.

Those days where you just plain DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Please, remember, it's OK to not be OK.

For the days you feel worthless and unneeded. Where you feel everyone's life would be better off if you never existed,

It's OK to not be OK.

For the days your chest burns because you feel inadequate. For the days you feel nothing but failure and given up hope,

It's OK to not be OK.

Read this when you feel those things. Where everyone in life is moving forward and you feel you are too stupid on where to take the first step forward.

You are strong. You are admirable.

Modest.

Loving.

Giving.

Beautiful.

When you feel like you had hit rock bottom...

Where you feel like you have no one with you...

You are not alone.

It's OK to CRY, it's OK to be STRESSED, it's OK to FAIL, it's OK to make MISTAKES.

It's OK to not be OK.

Thus far, you have overcame so much.

Please keep going.

When ever the thoughts start, whenever you can't anymore and people doubt who you are and your intelligence,

Please, don't stop.

Your fire in your heart is bigger than you think. Your mind can conquer mountains,

and the world is not ready for you, trailblazer.

You may be bent, but you ARE NOT BROKEN.

More mountains are coming that you are going to have to face; more rivers will flood your journey.

But:

IT'S OK.

No matter how off your world maybe, you are doing amazing.

You are doing amazing being you.

Keep holding on, no matter what.

No matter what...

It's OK to not be OK.

Until next time,

--You

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.
