I find peace on a chilly, rainy day-- when there is a storm brewing and you can see the ominous clouds rolling in. I want to see lightning illuminate the gray sky and hear the thunder and rain as it's hitting the roof. I want to lay in bed and fall asleep to the sound of rain come pouring down in the world around me.

My ideal day consists of cold, foggy, rainy weather. I love waking up to the sound of rain, looking outside my window and seeing the rain and clouds hanging low in the mountains. I love bundling up with sweaters, boots and scarves in preparation of the freezing weather that awaits me outside. I love spending my time with a hot latte in hand and seeing the rain fall through the cafe's windows. The relaxing coffee shop tunes are playing and there is no place that I'd rather be. Whether I am with friends, chatting about life, or alone, reading a good book, I am my happiest. These are lifes simple pleasures that bring me so much joy. I could spend hours upon hours in a coffee shop on a rainy day; mind you, I could probably spend hours there on any given day, but rainy days are my favorite.

I find peace in the rain. Rainy days bring so much sadness and gloomy moods to some humans, but I don't see how that's possible. The rain is so calming, it's washing away all of your troubles and you might even get to see a rainbow when the clouds have emptied. Next time it rains, try to embrace it and see the positivity it brings. So go sit in a coffee shop on a gray, rainy day, listen to the tunes and sip your latte and maybe you can find the peace in rain too.

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.

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?
