Feelings? What are those? I mean I know there's Happy, Sad, Angry, and Jealousy. People say there are so many emotions crawling through us, and we never know when an emotion will hit us. We'll never know when something happens, which emotion will be there.

Happiness is a common emotion; it's what everyone wants, what everyone is looking for in their life. Whether it's for a friendship or relationship. Someone is looking for that happiness. This feeling comes and goes, but you have to create your own happiness. No one can make it for you. You have to be calm and patient when it comes to happiness. As much as you can bring happiness into your life, you can also have moments of being sad.

Sadness is also a common emotion. No one wants sadness in their lives, but you need sadness in your life to get to happiness. In relationships or friendships, there will be sadness. Like I said before, you can't have happiness without a little bit of sadness, and you can't have sadness without the possibility of a little anger.

Anger is another common emotion, in any type of relationship. Is anger healthy? No, not at all. But we get it and we use it against people who we love and care about. Anger helps you let go and let you cool off for a bit. Sadness can be a result of being angry because no one wants to have that emotional feeling, especially to people they love and care for. Now once you go through that emotional cycle, you can start to build a foundation for happiness. What starts that angry feeling? Jealousy.

Jealousy is so common! We all want what other people have. Whether it's clothes, money, popularity, businesses, or relationships. When you get jealous you don't think of what you do have, you don't think of who helped you get what you have. You only think about what you don't have. So you become jealous. You get jealous because you don't have what someone else has. You start to believe you need whatever that other person has So you get sort of angry, then you get a little sad, but eventually you find peace with the idea that you don't need everything everyone else has, you can finally begin to feel happy.

Like I said at the beginning you need to find your own happiness. You will go through so many emotions in your life, and that's okay! You have to just keep moving forward and you just have to see what emotion you are feeling and then see why you are feeling that emotion. You will find your happiness in life, but first, you have to have The Art of Emotions.

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?
