The Sun Always Rises and Sets

The Sun Always Rises and Sets
Tori Tredinnick

The way life should be dealt with can best be easily described as when the sun rises and the sun sets each day. Each day, no matter what happens, no matter how it happens, nothing affects the way the sun rises and sets.

The sun doesn't let anything get in it's way. It knows it only has one shot to live, and no matter what the weather, good, bad or somewhere in between, the day will eventually come to a close. The sun will set, just to rise the next day.

The sun has seen a lot during its lifetime, and each year, as it goes through its seasons, it never once stopped giving light, and being figuratively happy. And sure, it's cloudy some days, or storming, but the sun is always still shining even though it's not at full force.

In addition, the sun never stops rising or setting because someone thinks it isn't as beautiful as it should be. But, even though the sun doesn't always get recognition, it doesn't mean its any less perfect, so just because you aren't always acknowledged, or your achievement aren't always seen, it doesn't mean you're worthless. Because on day, people will realize you were the most perfect sunset because you rose every morning, and didn't let people dictate how you felt about yourself.

We should learn from the sun, and it's crazy ways. It doesn't let what happens around itself ruin it's day, even if it has a bad day, it still find way to shine and to be happy. It knows, that even the worst days always come to an end, and that it'll have a chance to shine even brighter the next day. We should learn that we shouldn't let others dim our inner sun, or demean it in any way, and even if that does happen, our days will end and the sun will rise again.

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.
