7 Things You Need to Know RIGHT NOW

Now that I have captured your attention, I would like to tell you the 7 things you need to know right now if you need some encouragement. So, take a break, sit back and relax, and read. If you are still not encouraged, go read it again. Stop your stressing and worrying and use number 1!

    1. Take a second to breathe

      I know what you're thinking, because I am also there often, but you do have time to breathe. There's so much to get done right now but just take a few deep breaths and go to town on that assignment that's been stressing you out. A clear head will make all your work easier.

        2. You are beautiful

          That outfit looks beautiful on you and your makeup is on point!!! Whether you are the type to go for a clean look or you’re the one who goes all out, don't listen to what they say or worry about how many likes you get on that selfie. If you dig your look, wear it with confidence! If you don't like your look, don't be afraid to try something new!

            3. You are stronger than you think

              Those thoughts that you "can't get through this" are just dragging you down. Sometimes it takes a reminder from someone else (even if it's family) of all you can do. It's time to get back up, dust off your pants and go after that big dream of yours.

                4. I believe in you.

                  It's okay to be unsure of yourself and what you want to be in life. You might not be able to trust your ability to reach a goal but I believe you can do it. I know you can achieve wonderful things in life if you set your mind to it.

                    5. You are someone’s reason to smile

                      Sometimes your happiness might be low, but you must know you make someone else happy. It could be anyone, even a pet! But someone smiled today because of you. Keep doing what you do.

                        6. You're worth it

                          This is my favorite thing to say to someone when they are down because it’s my favorite thing to hear. When people try and be there for you it might be hard to quite understand because you don’t think your worth their time, but trust me, they wouldn’t be there if you weren’t.

                            7. It gets better

                              This one is as corny as they come. But it’s true. Rough patches may feel like a rough life but things will get better. You will be where you want to be with less stress and have all your goals.

                              If you still are having a bad day, please look at this collage of cute cats. I hope they at least make you smile!

                              A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

                              The transition into adulthood is never easy

                              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.

                              9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

                              College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

                              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.
