The Magical Way to deal with your Life Problems

Disclaimer:The Following article contains vulgarity and strong language, as well as a strong fully brash approach towards difficult times. If you are offended by such writing and or mindset, I'd highly encourage you not to read this. Viewer's Discretion is purposefully advised. You have been warned.

So you are going through a rough moment in your life and you have no where to turn. You don't know who to trust or how to get back on your feet. You blame yourself for your problems and no one fully understands your situation nor the prior moments that lead you too them.

But that's alright to feel that way.

Why do I say that?

Because Life's a Bitch.

Let's face it: No matter how hard you try to make things easier by bettering a low point of your life or attempt to ease a stressful situation; no matter how much people say it will be alright:

It doesn't get better.

That's the reason why we call them a Low Point.

They are meant to suck and make things worse for a reason.

Now I understand the logic behind staying positive during dark periods in your life but for me, I find that logic to be worthless sometimes for said reasons:

1. You could rely too much on ideals and not put forth genuine effort.

2. You could possibly set yourself up for more disappointment.

Reality of the matter being that Murphy's Law plays a Huge factor in this.

For those who are unfamiliar to Murphy's Law, it is stated as such:

"If it can go wrong, it will."

Now granted, this is all coming off as depressing and hopeless, however this is the opposite as such.

The reason I bring all this up is that Mankind enjoys being comfortable. We do not like change because it brings discomfort. There is nothing wrong with feeling that way; I am the same way too. But at the end of the day, we need to be realistic about things.

You're in a shitty part of your life and you need to deal with it.

How to deal with it is entirely up to you, but I can give some advice from my perspective.

Being in the Marine Corps Infantry, I have learned a thing or two about dealing with misery. Literally, you are taught to embrace it as part of the job. There will be moments in my career, and many prior ones before that, where I will be in bad situations and be miserable but I have learned to deal with it in a fool proof way.

There are two words in the Grunt world that you practically use on the daily:

"Fuck it!"

You are so deep in the hole with no way out that you just don't care anymore and do what ever it takes to get out of it. Saying those two words helps me develop the mental strength to get out of your situation as best as possible all while keeping a realistic attitude about your situation.

Take note that this way of thinking is definitely not for everyone. But in light of the way the world and our country is heading towards, it's always best to keep an open mind on different ways of tackling problems.

So the next time you're in a funk or your crap ain't together, say the magic words and reap willpower afterwards. Even if you're at the bar and have been eyeing that cute girl(or whatever you like) for the past three hours while sipping on your warm Budweiser, give it a shot and grab your cojones. You've got nothing to lose.

Trust me, you'll thank me later.

And that's all I got to say about that.

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.
