To The Girl Who Feels Like She's Breaking

Sometimes we break, and we cannot be strong all the time.

I want you to that it is okay to feel the way you do. It is okay to let those tears stream and not know exactly why they are falling in the first place. Sometimes we may not always know why the world around us is crashing, and we can't pinpoint an exact reason for why we find ourselves bawling. But it is okay to feel, to think, and to be unsure. After all you are human. It is okay if you find yourself letting out sadness for things that happened a while ago. Pain is pain, and sometimes it comes back even when we think it should remain in the past.

It is difficult to feel, we don't know how to fix everything or all the problems that seem to rise to the surface. That pain you feel is okay to have. That pulsing in your chest is real. And I know it may feel like the pain might not go away, but it will. With time it will. It is okay if you are embarassed to cry in front of people. Crying doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. And honestly people who don't understand that emotions are something to be shown are missing the point. It is not you that has the issue it is them.

It is okay if your way of coping involves sappy music, or a pillow to hide your sobs. We all grieve differently. We shed our shells differently. No one is alike in how they deal with a broken world. But you are not alone, so many people have sat where you are sitting. They've tried to appear strong when they are the farthest from that. If you don't want people to hear your sounds of sadness that is okay too. If you decide you aren't ready or feel you can't get up. This is your life. It is okay to experience this all first hand and more.

You wanting to show emotion is normal, it is fine you are human. Sometimes we break, and we cannot be strong all the time. We become vulnerable and it is okay if people come and check in on you at your worst. It is normal to want to let your feelings out. To be in tune with how you really feel means that you are in tune with your body. Let no one take that away from you. Your feelings are yours and yours alone so don't let anyone else make you feel like they are not worth shedding. They are valid.

You are valid. And you matter regardless of if you feel like you are breaking. Right now in this moment, it may feel like the world is over that your feelings don't matter and no one will understand. But I promise you, it will be okay. And darling you will be okay.

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.

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.
