True Beauty

Not everything is what it seems.

Beauty. The one thing some of us tend to forget the real meaning of. There are a ton of people in this world (the stereotypical ones) who see beauty as being on the outside only. A beautiful person does not have to be nice looking on the outside in order to be beautiful. I could stop at that but lets keep going.

Beauty is often confused with the terms pretty or gorgeous. If you all calling someone beautiful then that means you have seen their actions and words being used for the better. Actions speak louder than words so if a person is so "beautiful" on the outside and go around doing things they shouldn't, then are they really beautiful? No, they are not. They are simply pretty or gorgeous on the outside, and are essentially no good.

A beautiful person will help others with virtually anything and everything. They will never make up an excuse unless it was truly an emergency. A beautiful person has nothing but good intentions. They at make a mistake here or there, but the cause will always be for the better. The thought is what always matters no matter what. If they fail, big deal, they will always get right back up and step to the plate again. They are persistent no matter what or who try's to stand in their way.

To those beautiful people out there (you know who you are), don't you ever give up. No matter what keep your head held high and never lose your persistency, because you are making a difference in peoples lives whether you realize it or not. You may not always be appreciated by others as often as you should be but who cares, it's their fault not yours. They are missing out on something wonderful.

To the people who believe beauty is on the outside, and the outside only, I hope you will realize the truth. Things aren't always what they seem to be, and should not be judged right off the bat. Ever heard or the phrase 'don't judge a book by its cover'. Well, it's a pretty good quote to live by. It has a positive effect on life.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
