In This Article:

Since I can remember there has always been a stigma around the term "soulmate" its always been presented to me as finding your "true love", or "love at first sight" but are soulmates deeper than that?

After pondering on this subject and talking with others I finally came to my OWN conclusion. Finding your soulmate is about the energy you get from a certain person that you don't receive from everyone, and because of this I don't think there should be a limit on how many people you are emotionally tied to; also soulmates should not be subjected to one type of relationship. Who are we to tell you that you actually have to be in love with your soulmate? Throughout life, I think we can find soulmates in all of these different relations.

1.Romantic partners

Even though I talked about the different relations that you can receive soulmates in this is definitely the first relation that comes to mind, I would have to agree that when I think about finding my soulmate I imagine it in a romantic form. I think when you have a soulmate in this relation it is someone you daydream about, can be Intimate with, and all around the person, you imagine being with forever.

2.  Friendships

I think soulmates in friendships are definitely underrated and way easier to find than romantic partners. If you've ever had a true best friend you know that at some point in the relationship you two are almost inseparable you do everything together, finish each other's sentences, and most importantly you confide in each other on a level that many can't and won't understand. Though you aren't together romantically the relationship is just as important and sacred to you. Most of us may not even realize that our actual soulmate is the same person we've been sharing secrets with since 6th grade.

3. Ourselves

This may sound cheesy or cliché but you look at your first soulmate in the mirror every day. I think throughout life we learn to love ourselves more and more and this process could be considered as finding your soulmate within. I think the best way to describe this relationship is by loving yourself and taking care of yourself. This means treating yourself, but also taking care of you, mentally and physically because ultimately all of the other soulmates can disappear so make sure you nurture this one the most.

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?
