Purpose, Beliefs, and the Journey Ahead

Everyone needs something to believe in, whether it is a cause, some kind of god , or their own motto of how they choose to live their life. A belief that this is not all for nothing, that everyday does in fact count, and that we were put on this planet for a purpose. Our journey is either not identified yet or in the process of being written.

The optimists of our world choose to believe in the greater good, and they are not yet discouraged, even when society consistently fails us, they still have hope that one day things will turn for the better. Although, the realists out weigh the optimists of our world.

Realists are the ones who are constantly giving the dreamers reality checks, and they do not believe that dreams come true, instead they put up this persona that life happens, and we have to choose how we roll with it or not.

Our world consists of people who rarely dream of something greater, magical, and almost surreal. Yes, everyone has dreams, but who really tries to make those dreams a reality. The ones who turn their dreams into their reality are the ones who believe in something that is bigger than themselves. Those who think that anything is possible, and that life is not yet discouraged by us.

Some believe that everything happens for a reason, and that the events that take place in our life are meant to help create us into the person we are today, and are meant to be. Then, there are some who think that life is not fair..And to short..Those are the ones who decide to dwell on the past, and all the heartache and disappointment of life, instead of use that to become a stronger human being, and face their fears that they believe that life has nothing good in store for them.That is simply untrue. The best is yet to come. Sometimes you have to endure the hardships that reality and life has to throw your way, to come to the realization that every chance is an opportunity for greatness, and every hope is a belief that we can be whomever we imagine, and that second chances do exist for those lucky enough to accept the opportunity to start over. “Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you where meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.”(One Tree Hill)

Believe.. Believe that you have a purpose, a journey, and that not matter what spins your life takes, no one can change the way you choose be not ordinary but extraordinary.

“Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.”(One Tree Hill)

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.
