Walk through the door with me, to a place where nothing is as it seems. Why is that? Because everything is topsy-turvy, absolutely nothing makes sense, and it has turned life into this great big mess. What is it you ask? Well, let me tell you this, it's called "journey", and no one has ever been able to prove why it doesn't make sense.

Imagine this, you wake up one morning to find yourself seeing the world in a different way, in fact, everything that you deem worthy are tossed to the side, with the intrusive thoughts of hurdling towards your face. "Why is there a pile up on the I-85 up the road, what were those idiots doing?" You ask yourself, yet you do not realize that if you had been there five minutes ago while driving down the road too fast than your normal driving time?

Riddle me this dear reader, have you ever thought about what you are doing each second of the day? No, you are not. Instead you are just doing, not really thinking. Think of it like this, you walk throughout the day with plans on your mind, yet, by the end of the day you didn't realize the many doors you had to walk through. Did you speak with your manager about moving on up? Or did you just sit there, with your head down, just absolutely giving up?

Each day we are presented a set of doors, each one connected to certain events, they might be so upfront, in fact, it complete and utter silent mess. We pick and choose, sometimes not so wisely, but nevertheless it certainly makes no sense. And that is life, there is no rhyme or reason, and there is no such thing as right place or right time, because everyone's own life is on it's own path, and to say that everyone must stick to a strict time clock is absolutely absurd. Because if we really think about it we all move at a different speed, in fact there is a quote floating around the atmosphere that says, "we are all in the same storm, just different boats".

Pretty interesting right? Now, dear reader, have thought about this? Reread this and listen to the lesson, the one that is written in a dramatic fashion. Ask yourself this, are you aware how your life will be affected? Are you prepared for everything you say to make your life go on a whirlwind coaster?

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.
