Why Self-Love Should Be An Important Factor In Your Life

Self-love is one of the strongest traits a person can have. You're with it as a little human-being and gradually, over time, you face different milestones in your life that can alter that self-love you endured as a child. I like to believe when I look at such things around me, whereever I may be at the time. When I look, I capture. I capture memories I love, dislike, wish I could go back in time and change. But that would mean you've still left a window open, in your heart, that's allowed to break you, shape you or alter your way of thinking whenever you think of that memory.

To be able to love yourself entirely throughout this life, means you're allowed to make mistakes as a human and still love the person you are after.

If there is anything I learned growing up with a variety of meaningful and non-meaningful memories, ones I wish I could take back. It does not mean it defines you, or any action you've made, or anything that is stopping you from loving the person you are today.

It's important to be aware of the person you are today, in order to love yourself from here on. It means you can tackle anything, and allow yourself to break in difficult scenarios and not be the person you are when you're full of emotions, simply because...your self-love overcomes it all.

Your ability to acknowledge bad scenarios, and unwanted feelings gives you room and strength that you didn't ask for. To believe in yourself every day and know since you love yourself, you can never be defined by another human beings action. Whether it's a negative or positive impact on yourself, the self-love you endure and achieve more of every day is now defining the beautiful person you were set out to be. So remember, to love you because their is no one else out there who can be you and have the same mind as you. Flaunt it, own it, and believe in yourself everyday because you are worth it. 0-100, real quick folks.

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.
