2016 was one of the worst years of my life. It brought me more heartache than anything else. I am not someone who expects everything to change overnight, just because the year does. I know that when the clock strikes twelve, happiness will not come my way immediately. I know that it will take time, dedication, and faith in God to get to where I want to be. There are many things that I hope will happen this upcoming year:

I hope to become a better version of myself.

I know I'm a good person and I know I have a good heart, but I want to do more. I want to give more. I want to love more. I want to let go of old grudges and forgive more often. I hope to become someone that other people look up to. I hope to become stronger, and I hope for my relationship with God to grow.

I hope to find true love and happiness.

I may still be young, but I am so full of love and I am ready to give it to someone else who gives me the same love in return. I hope for more happiness and adventures in 2017. I hope for new opportunities and new paths to go down. Love and happiness are things every person desires. I hope 2017 brings me both.

I hope for new friends and new memories with old friends.

I have so many amazing friends in my life and I love making new ones. I hold onto memories so tightly and cherish them all. I hope to make new friends and make many more crazy memories.

I hope for 2017 to be a year of new beginnings.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
