Love. The word that makes people feel everything good and terrifying at the same time. To love someone or something means to put your heart on the line. It means a wall is broken down, and its vulnerable to disappointment and hurt.

The thing is people spend so much time being terrified of feeling what they feel, they don't realize how much they're missing out on. When you wake up everyday feeling in love, with life, with a certain someone, with the waffles that are waiting for you downstairs it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Love is a part of human nature, it's an inevitable emotion that stems from somewhere deep in your subconscious. It's not purposeful if people could choose, life might be a little easier but not even close to as meaningful and exciting. Love does not by any means have to come from another person.

It's an absolutely beautiful thing to be able to hold someone so close to your heart, but love can come from a lot of things in a lot of different forms.


I love...

Genuinely kind people. My favorite type of people are the ones that are nice just for the sake of being nice, they don't need any sort of recognition to do good things. If they do charity work, they do it because they care, not for bragging rights. They are nice to everyone, not because they want to be considered a nice person, they just are because it's the best thing to do.

I love...

Making someone I care about laugh. You know there's a study that shows most people look at the person they care about most when something funny happens to see what their reaction is. I don't know about you, but making someone laugh is the best thing in the world, and you have to be lying if you don't think being called funny is hands down the best compliment.

I love...

Love. Just in general. I love the fact that other people have something or someone they love with their whole hearts. To be passionate is one of the greatest emotions life has to offer. The idea that there are aspects of people's lives that make them want to be driven is one of the most wonderful things to me.

I love...

People that take you out of your comfort zone. I believe life should be filled with different types of people with different types of ideas. To find those refreshing people that allow you to experience new things that you probably never would have thought of had you not met them.

I love...

Fuzzy blankets, when it's absolutely freezing. It is physically impossible to not feel safe and happy when your wrapped up in a blanket burrito with the fuzziest of blankets all around you.

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.
