Be Thankful EVERY SINGLE DAY.

We often forget how truly blessed we are. Everything in life, good or bad, we should be thankful for.

Oftentimes, we get so caught up in our lives that we never really pay attention to how truly blessed we are. It's only when bad things happen(or that one day devoted to being thankful) that we reflect on everything we're thankful for. With Thanksgiving come and gone, I have decided to compose a list of the most simple, yet meaningful things we should all be thankful for.

1. Parents: they will always be there for you no matter what and they go above and beyond for YOU.

2. Home: whether you live in the country or a mansion, home will always be where the heart is.

3. Pain: it reminds us we're human and we are in fact alive.

4. Love: it's hard to find but it's good to have.

5. Sunsets: they remind us that endings can be beautiful.

6. Education: we may think it's going to kill us, but some people have no access.

7. Weekends: our mini break from the daily grind.

8. Health: it is important to stay healthy, some people are fighting for theirs.

9. Mistakes: they teach you how to live the correct way.

10. Tears: they take place of words when we have none.


11. Oceans: the waves are a constant reminder to keep moving forward.

Granted, there are more things to be thankful for. These are the most simple, yet meaningful. Take a moment each day to truly be thankful; not when tragedy strikes. We are blessed no matter what, so let's start acting like it! Everything, both good and bad, have gotten us to where we are now.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
