I'm Sassy, Not Heartless

You just have to accept it and get over it.

I'm Sassy, Not Heartless

First and foremost, I will not apologize for who I am.

Most of the time I say things that maybe shouldn't be said. Most of those times I say them in a way that people don't understand, or in a way that may offend them. I don't know how I became this way, but I promise you that in many different ways, I am extremely sassy, but I refuse to be known as heartless.

One thing I am proud of is my compassion of helping others. Chances are I will give off a little attitude and act like I'm upset about doing whatever it is, but I am certain that I couldn't be happier to give a helping hand. If someone were to call me or text me, asking for a favor, I do my best to be there. I can never guarantee I will be 100 percent helpful, but I do try. I try because sometimes people need help and helping them will make you personally happy with yourself.

I listen to the problems other people are facing. I may not be the best at giving advice, mainly because I don't know what I'm talking about half the time. I don't like when important people in my life face problems that make them feel weak. No one should ever feel that way. I will be the first to plot against someone that hurts someone special to me. I will be the first to stay up late and watch movies while eating the whole gallon of ice cream if a boy said something stupid to one of my friends. I will also be the first to just sit in silence waiting for the pain to go away. I am always a call away. Many people are not like that. I do care about other people and what they go through and my friends better damn well know that.

The words I say come across as so strong, so intimidating. If I love you, I say I hate you. If I think you're beautiful, I say you're ugly. I will get super pissed at you if you do the dumbest things. And I get frustrated because I know the capability of other people. I want people to grow and for them to see how amazing they truly are. I say whatever pops into my head on the spot and I should feel guilty about it, but I don't. I don't want things to be unsaid. So feel to disagree with me, call me a bitch, talk behind my back, but don't call me heartless, because that's one thing I am not.

I also have feelings. I take things to heart more than most people would. I definitely don't show emotions, but I have some. I cry at "Grey's Anatomy," I laugh at my own jokes, I have road rage when someone cuts me off and I put a whole in the wall because my heart was broken. I get mad at my roommate because she didn't clean the dishes and she always locks the damn door. I let the fact that two of my friends blocked me on Snapchat affect me more than it should. I don't care that I am like that. I don't care that I may not be everyone's favorite person that they want to hang out with. But I do care about other people. I always have.

I apologize if some people can't handle my sass, but it's who I am. You just have to accept it and get over it.

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.

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.
