Pure Accident: Thankful I've Met You

Hi.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

People can always surprise you, make you learn things that you never thought you would ever need. Are you suppose to meet people that make you think? Make you learn about yourself more?

What if I never met you? Would I still learn? Would I still be who I am today?

There is this quote that speaks of people you meet; "We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason." There's a reason to meet everyone, whether it is a pure accident, or it's meant to be.

There's a lot to say about the people that impact your life for the best, make you want to be a better person. The cool thing is that there are those people out there that you're meant to meet. It's like your path in life was suppose to take the course that it had and it guides you to these people. And maybe it weird to think like that sometimes, but you wonder, why did I meet the people that I've met in my life?

I wouldn't even be able to begin to understand who or where I would be without you. From all of the laughs, to even the life lessons, just being there to talk to. Simple things that people take for granted are something that should be cherished. Figuring out the reasons why meeting someone who will eventually change your life for maybe the best, is insane.

Especially for me, being a shy kid and learning that is it absolutely okay to speak my mind, learning how to manage time, and just learn to live. People become who they are because of the people they surround themselves with.They teach you to be yourself, they come into your life at a point in time because there must be a reason for it.

College has made me meet a lot of people that I never thought would mean a lot more to me than I thought I could. There are people out there who have experiences that you might not have at that moment in time. College has shown me a lot about people, some good some bad, but so many priceless and memorable things. I've met people who encourage me to be the best I can be, try things that I could never do and make life a little bit more happier. I couldn't imagine my life being the way it was before I met some of the best people in my life. I couldn't be prouder knowing anyone else in my life.

People can forever surprise you and maybe that the cool thing about it, life gives your these moments in life and you either take them, or you chose another path. Whatever happens, you'll meet people on the way that will teach you how to be a better person.

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.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
