Growing up against the force of society, I have learned some of the basic tricks to subsistence. With that said, here goes a list of the things I have sworn to never repeat and In my opinion,you should too.

1. Never trust anybody with your eyes closed.

As tough as that sounds, it is one of the essentials to surviving life.

2. Never give up.

No matter how difficult the situation gets, never give up. Remember, miracles happen everyday.


3. Never let anything/anyone come in the way of your success.

Forces from outside will try and throw you off your balance,but you still gotta keep rolling.


4. Never read too much between the lines.

A lot of the daily stress comes from within yourself.


5. Never doubt your ability.

Even for one slight second!


6. Never fall into the traps of controversy.

I get it, gossip is fun to share and listen to, but someone's getting hurt

in the process and this time it might just be you.



7. Never get involved with the wrong crowd.

Know your friends,your enemies and never forget those frenemies.


8. Never get sucked into drama.

If someone brings nothing more to the table than drama, get up and leave

9. Never let negative energy bring you down.

Keep away. Set and enforce limits.


10. Never stop loving your parents.

Believe me, regardless of how weird they can get sometimes, they are probably going to be the most sane people you'll ever meet in this journey of life.


11. Never let someone else dictate your life.

Be your own boss. Toss the overbearing nut-job right into the trash.

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.
