Thank You for the Support

Thank you for catching me when I fall.

Thank You for the Support
Courtney Powell On Purpose

Do you ever feel like you just want to give up? Do you ever feel like there is something in your life that is too big for you to overcome? Everything in your life begins to feel like it is too much to handle and all you want to do is give up. Trust me, I get it.

Sometimes things are going to be hard, but you've got to have faith and keep trucking along. Trust that your friends and family will be there to have your back every step of the way. Your life is on a set path whether you realize it or not, and everything happens for a reason. So, whether you are dealing with a tough situation or just got the best news of your life, always remember that everything that happens in your life is part of God's plan.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hop and a future.'" -Jeremiah 29:11

I know that staying positive is not easy, trust me I do, and I am here to tell that it is okay to fall down sometimes. Always remember that you will have someone there to pick you up when you fall, whether it is your family, your friends or the Lord. When times get hard, it is hard to see that things get worse before they get better, but they do. Even though you don't realize why things are happening the way that they are happening, it is all part of the path that the Lord has sent you down.

"Jesus replied, 'You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'" -John 13:7

So, I would personally like to thank my family for being my backbone and keeping me strong through all of the hard situations that I have faced recently. I would also like to thank my friends for being there to pick me up when I have fallen. Thanks to the two of them, I have been able to deal with the curve-balls that have been thrown my way. Lastly, I would like to thank God for always having His hand on my shoulder and leading me down the path that I was meant to go down. I would not be the person that I am today if it wasn't for the Lord, my family, and my friends. So, all in all, I would just like to say thank you for the unconditional love and support.

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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
