As a college student, it can become really easy to become a pessimist. While sometimes it seems like nothing goes right, there are days where I have so much to be thankful for. Last semester I started this habit where I would post on my Instagram story about all of the things I was thankful for that day. While sometimes it was hard to come up with things, most of the time it was so easy to remember all of the good things in my life. Doing this really made me realize how grateful I was for the people, experiences, and memories of my first year of college. Realizing all the happy things in my life has made me realize that while life isn't so pretty sometimes, it's really great most of the time.

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.

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.
