https://www.theodysseyonline.com/overlooked-gift-words

We all need to hear and say things from the people we love, strangers and even ourselves. We don't say these things enough to people and we need to start saying them a lot more often. A few simple words can change the complete outcome of someones day, even your own.

1. I'm proud of you.

2. You got this.

3. Don't be so hard on yourself.

4. Forgive them.

5. You don't owe anyone anything.

6. It's not okay now, but it will be.

7. I love you.

8. You're very important to me.

9. I need you.

10. You make me smile.

11. Thank you.

12. I believe in you.

13. You are kind.

14. I missed you.

15. I'm sorry.

16. You're worth more than you think.

17. You matter.

18. I appreciate you.

19. Love yourself, please.

20. You're good enough.

21. Please.

22. This made me think of you.

23. I made this for you.

24. I'm thinking of you.

25. I'm here for you.

26. You're not alone.

27. You are a great person.

28. You're really talented.

29. Go ahead and eat that whole pizza.

Saying any of these things to anyone and hearing these has the power to change your outlook on life or just your day. Start speaking more kindly to each other and you'll see the difference.

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.

"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?
