The Blessing Of Another Person

Strength we thought we would lose.

The Blessing Of Another Person

Sometimes it’s hard for us to do things on our own. Other times, I at least like to do things on my own so that way they come out the exact way I want them to. This applies to many different parts of my life and it includes many different people. My parents are still greatly involved in my life, but now my boyfriend of six years is more often involved in a lot of what keeps me going sometimes. My boyfriend keeps me going almost on a daily basis, including waking me up some days, and helping to cook food every day, but some days just cooking for himself. Growing into this strong relationship changed how we lived our daily lives together. We continued to focus on what we needed to build to strengthen our relationship and what one of us does and the other does to help the pair.

I continued to accept the fact that I would continue to run daily events in my life with others always being involved. Its easy to let happen now, I have accepted the fact that company will be there with me. Even today when I wake up, I hate being alone. I need to have someone there with me immediately when I wake up. Eating breakfast happens more smoothly as soon as I wake up and someone is there with me. It’s hard for me to eat �on my own. My boyfriend constantly being here is always a relief. Even though he has a full-time job I have it in my mind that he will come home to me, and I will need to have a certain amount of things ready when he’s home. Whether that is chores that we want done in the house, or something for a meal that he might want, I have now gotten used to the fact that getting that done for him will help keep our relationship strong.

Its now hard for me to live constantly on my own. I thought I was going to let that go once I grew up from my parents, but I hate it. I’m glad I get to live a daily life with them, but also with the man that has my heart. I have no idea what my life would be like without him, miserable, boring, lonely perhaps. Keeping near my parents keeps me calm knowing they are close by in any situation when I might need help. My boyfriend also helps keep me constantly calm. Being able to talk to him everyday helps me with my emotions in every level that they may get to. Without him, even with the fact that we don’t have a ring involved, I would unfortunately still just be with my parents living daily with them.

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.
