Remember That You Have The Strength To Grow Through What You Go Through

Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes that reason is a tremendous life lesson.

Throughout your life, you are going to be faced with roadblocks. Whether they are minor or major, these blocks can feel overpowering. These encounters feel impossible to overcome and they can give you a sense of feeling stuck.

During these setbacks, you may feel like you have been defeated. However, these upsets are actually a blessing in disguise. When you deal with a troubling matter, you get to learn something new about yourself.

Perhaps you will even learn a small personal characteristic or a big realization about who you actually are.

For me, I would not change a single thing about my life. I am truly grateful for everything that I have gone through, especially the roadblocks. Without the struggles, I would not be the person I am today.

The troubling situations and circumstances that have crossed my path in the past have all taught me important life lessons. I have learned about strength, responsibility, rage, hatred, joy, courage, and hundreds of other important life aspects.

Without going through the difficult times, I would have never gained this special and important knowledge on these topics.

It may seem like the difficulties you face are all evil, but I have learned to look for the light in the darkness. When you are going through a difficult time, you should try to find the good in the bad. Sprint to the light at the end of the tunnel, because when you reach it, you will feel unstoppable.

In order to get this mindset, I encourage you to step out of your current views. If you feel like life is constantly dragging you and throwing you in awful situations, then it is time to realize that life is hard. Your life is a long journey, and you are going to be the only person that will be on the entire trip.

There are going to be times when your tough journey seems like it will never end, but it will. You can defeat anything that is trying to stop you.

Once you set your mind to something, you can't be stopped. Nothing can hold you back. Not one single thing.

Every person on this Earth goes through different things. You can't compare your chapter one to someone else's chapter five. It simply doesn't work like that.

You have this life for a reason, so find that reason. Why are you here? What is your purpose?

The answers to these questions are going to be found when you least expect it. Usually, they are found in the worst times of your life. This is why finding that light in the pitch black is important. There is always going to be something that is brilliantly bright.

The good is going to be the wisdom you gain from your experiences. There is always going to be at least one thing to learn from the blackness.

In the end, you grow through what you go through. I want you to remember that.

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.
