This Is Only The Beginning

Where you feel you are at doesn't show who you are.

This Is Only The Beginning

There comes a point in our lives when we question every single decision we've made. I have always questioned everything I have done. As we get older we wonder if we are on the right path. Sometimes you can't help but wonder if the future is what you want it to be.

Don't sit and wonder on all you could have done. Look at what you have done. Look at what you want to accomplish in the future. Don't look at other people accomplishments and amount yourself failure because you have still done aspects they haven't. Everyone has a dish to give to the table.

The universe has a plan for everybody. Even though at this moment, life may seem far from perfect, look at how far you have come. Remember it's not all about how many internships or jobs you have. It's honestly about what you strive to become.

We all have dreams that we want to accomplish. We all have a vision for our future. It's scary to know that your life is far from perfect. That one moment from the past could have made a difference today. Where you are now is where you are supposed to be. You will grow. You will learn from your mistakes. You will of course succeed.

I'm trying to stop obsessing over what I haven't done and just accept the parts of my life that have been a success. One can only move forward by accepting the circumstances. I'll say this: You have done enough.

Own your path. Strive for success. Create new aspects for change. Always try to remember that your not only one who feels like to swerved to the side of the road. Your path doesn't have to be fixed. There are so many different roads and you never have to choose one.

This is only the beginning and not the end. All you have done in your lifetime is fine. Any mistakes you have made along the way, you have time to change even if you don't believe it.

It's your life. Always be happy. No ones' success is ever greater than yours.

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.
