For The College Student Faced With New Beginnings

Something new in life seems to happen almost every day, so embrace it.

For The College Student Faced With New Beginnings
Catherine Linnihan

We all start with new beginnings during some parts of our lives. Whether that be a major milestone in life, a different routine, a new job, a new lifestyle, or just making new friends.

All of these things have to do with new beginnings. When you decide to get a degree in a certain field, when you decide to get involved in church, clubs, and tribes, you are creating a new beginning in your life.

Something new seems to happen almost every day in my life or for me at least with me. When you decide to do something different or new, you should be happy about it and not sad or mad!

You are the one deciding if a certain thing is a good or a bad decision. For most of the time, decisions make an impact on your life regardless of how big the decision is. Some decisions you will look back on for a long time in your life.

Sometimes new beginnings is a meaning of being refreshed or just starting new with certain things in life.

For example, when you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are made new in Christ's image and you are cleaned or washed away from your sins. Jesus makes us new and we can have a fresh new beginning in life when we live for Him.

So, whenever you feel like you are taking a big leap of faith in your life to begin something new, like going to college, getting a job, getting married, and other things; just remember that is a new beginning. Sometimes it doesn't feel like that, but it is in reality. New beginnings are fun and can adventurous sometimes, but most times they are good, even though sometimes it can get scary with the going into something new!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
