To The Girl Who Never Stopped Smiling
Katie Lynn Owen

I know it's hard sitting there, watching your world break into a hundred different pieces and there's nothing you can do about it. Trust me, I've been there a million times. You would imagine that feeling like this would cause you to look sad and gloomy, but you just continue on with a smile on your face. You refuse to be weak and want to be nothing less than strong. You face many issues alone, but would do anything to see someone else smile. You're the girl that would brighten some else's day, even if you can't brighten your own.

No matter what was crashing down in your life, you simply just put it aside. I know you wanted to give up over a million times. You've spent numerous nights crying yourself asleep and then woke up with a smile on your face the next morning as if nothing even happened. That right there takes MAJOR strength.

Because that's just who you are...the girl that never stopped smiling.

You're the girl who comes off to be so strong, but little does everyone know, you feel so weak at times. You know there are numerous people that would kill to see you fall and the last thing you want to do is give them the satisfaction. So you continue to smile. You smile just to keep the tears from falling and sleep just so you don't have to think about it.

You continue smiling for all the people that have ever doubted you. You smile because fully live by the phrase "you never know whose day you could change just by smiling."

She's hurt, mentally and emotionally. But everyday, she walks with a smile on her face because that's just who she is: the girl who never stopped smiling.

You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but don't ever give up.

" God is within her, she will not fall. God will help her at the break of day." Psalm 46:5.

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.
