The ABC's Of Happiness

Waking up to news about more deaths and shootings should not be a normal way to live. During times like these, people have a hard time staying positive and happy. Hopefully the ABC's of happiness will put everyone's mind at ease for the moment.

A- Accepting yourself for who you are (you're probably a lot cooler than you think).

B- Being in the moment.

C- Creating something new that will benefit others, caring for others when they least expect it.

D- Dancing whenever you possibly can (silent dance parties are also very fun).

E- Eating whatever you want, whenever you want (life's too short to care about what you look like every two seconds).

F- Facing your biggest fears (very rewarding).

G- Giving back to others; when was the last time you helped someone in need?

H- HUGS

I- Intelligence and ice cream.

J- Just being yourself.

K- Kisses and more kisses.

L- Laughing even after the joke has been over for an hour.

M- Meeting someone who will stay in your life forever.

N- Not giving up on a dream and having the dream come true.

O- Owning something of your own.

P- Petting as many dogs as you can.

Q- Quiet, but not awkward, moments.

R- Relaxing and riding a bike.

S- Smile!!! Smiling at a stranger and getting a smile back, sunsets/sunrises (nothing is better).

T- Talking about something you are passionate about.

U- Uniqueness (everyone has it).

V- Visualize your future.

W- Wear whatever your heart desires, walk with confidence.

X- (X)ercise and love your body (I know how to spell exercise, this is the best we can do).

Y- Yell and scream from the top of a mountain.

Z- Zip past the negative points in your life and continue towards the positive.

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.
