To The All-American Girl

You are not indecisive.

To The All-American Girl
Reader's Digest

You know exactly who you are. You are the girl whose friends remind you daily that you can't make up your mind, that you're indecisive and can't be taken seriously, in a joking way of course. They do not mean anything negative, but they do not understand you.

I am here to tell you, they are wrong. You are not full of nonsense. You are not indecisive. Between goals, talents, careers, taste in boys, fashion, friends, and everyday life...you are the girl full of dreams. You want to do or try to do everything. You look at the glass half full and chase after anything.

You're an All-American Girl.... And a good one at that.

The All-American Girl does it all -- she has no boundaries. She has no need for the same routine every day. She loves everyone with her whole heart, she tries her best at everything she does, and she is fearless. She is not afraid of failure and most certainly is not afraid to be herself. She creates her own destiny. She wants to dye her hair blonde one minute and black the next, be an astronaut, a scuba-diver, a helpless romantic, a free-bird, somewhere in the hall of fame, and maybe even write a novel one day.

She wants to do it all. And although that may seem impossible, it sounds like fun to her. She goes wherever the wind takes her. The wind is not a light breeze, but comes full force. She doesn't hesitate to dare to move, but many people misunderstand her for that.

They think that she is showing off or can't decide what she wants to do in life. The truth is, she does what makes her happy in the moment. She does what makes her a better person or teaches her important life lessons that many people will never learn. Because she follows her heart, she finds herself in the midst of everything.

So credit to ya, All-American Girl. The world would be a boring place without you. We all need you in our life. We need your confidence to take chances. We need your intuition to follow your gut. We need your open-minded personality. People are so scared to try everything. It's like when you have fifteen tables set up in your favorite grocery store full of samples of food, but you only keep going to the same table.

Don't settle. Explore instead. Be your own version of an all-american girl. Try everything! The all-american girl has realized that some things won't work out for her, she may not like her choices, and she may decide to turn back for something else, but she doesn't go down without a fight. She gives everything a chance because the world is big and full of opportunity and so many adventures are waiting.

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.

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?
