The Start of Something New

I'm just living my life day by day.

The Start of Something New

When I was little, if someone had told me that life goes by in a blink of an eye, I would have not believed them. I'm 22 years old now, and let me tell you all; that old saying is very real. Ever since I could remember, I always got excited of the thought of graduating from college, getting my dream job of working at a top PR firm and marrying the man of dreams in Atlanta, Georgia in the perfect house and not worry about a single thing at all, such as being in debt. Fast forward to my life as of right now, I could not tell you where my life could be leading to.

May 13, 2017, I will be graduating from college, with a degree in Communication Studies, and just like most students my age, I am in debt and I have no idea where my life is going to take me for my future occupation in PR. I had hoped by this time of my senior year, I would already have had multiple job offers, and so far I have had none. At this point, you may think that I am worried or disappointed in myself because I had dreams of having the perfect American dream by now. Well, to answer your question, I am absolutely not worried at all.

I may not be where I had wanted be, but I know that each day I am getting closer to where I am supposed to be. I am going to keep working hard to accomplish my dreams and by doing that, I will continue to get more experience in my field of study, network with others, and most importantly, keep positive. It's okay if everything is not going perfectly. That's life. Day by day, I am going to put every single worry that I have into God's hands. I know that he has a plan for me, so I just have to sit back, relax, and live in the moment.

At this time of my life, this is the start of something new. I can not continue to keep my head down because things are not going the way I want it to be. I know that at this point, every single struggle that I have, can only go up from here. In the upcoming years, I will work in one of the top PR firms in the nation, and that is when you will know that my dreams came true by working hard and having God, my family and friends by my side.

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.
