Here's To New Beginnings

See ya later, 2017-18 school year.

Here's To New Beginnings
me

The time of year has come yet again. It always does. The feelings mixed: fear, excited, confusion, whatever it may be,

Endings are hard.

I for one did not realize the comfort I have reached at my university and now feel a rush of fear due to my new beginning. However, so many people are in my boat.

What we are all fearing, the unknown.

All of these emotions natural of course, but to add to it, the emotions we have about what we are leaving behind.

The school year, the life we lived routinely, and everything that came with that. The decisions that some did and did not define us, the information learned and stored to better us, and the every day doings that are going on a brief hold for something else.

Every ending is a new beginning.

Everything going to happen in your life has probably not even happened yet. Scary right? Wrong. Exciting.

This is just the start.

Leaving what you know is always going to hard but we can never grow and learn if we don't leave what we know.

Although this school year and everything that came with it is over, tomorrow marks a new day. Maybe the best day, maybe the worst. However, new.

Tomorrow marks the next day of the rest of your life.

So inhale the good and exhale the bad. Remember the good memories and keep them with you as you start to create new good memories.

Remember, summer is short. You will be back before you know it.

The question is.. where is back? Old or new.

The ending is just a new beginning.

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.

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.
