A Journey Through Cognition

Writer's Block.

Often times I find myself here, a metaphysical place in which I have no idea what to write and then randomly my mind will travel to this one thought that links together a bunch of other thoughts and I end up with a topic to write about. That being said, that is not the case today because here I am not able to think of anything to write about so you'll get a first hand look of where my mind travels on the journey to find something of concrete relevance to life.

I actually just stared at this blank screen for like five minutes so there's that. But it got me thinking about the process of thought, like where does your mind go when you're "spacing out" or "not thinking" at all? Weird right?

Now this has me thinking of the movie Interstellar- no clue why but that's where my mind went, probably because it has such abstract ideas within it and I consider human thought a very vast and abstract concept.

Do you ever picture your brain working? Like that episode in spongebob where his brain has a bunch of tiny little spongebobs working inside and filing all of his thoughts and memories? I like to think of a bunch of little Kayla's inside my brain doing the same thing... weird I know.

See, now that I mentioned Spongebob I'm thinking about Crabby Patty's for some reason which makes me hungry so I think I'm going to eat my bagel.

I'm totally rambling...

This is actually kind of fascinting, documenting my thought process- like I feel like to someone else this could potentially be very entertaining.

Well speaking of entertainment I'm going to entertain myself by fullfilling my hunger spell and eating that bagel.

I hope you enjoyed this little path into my mind, it sure was insightful- well to me it was insightful.

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.
