Trial And Error

Thriving for less worries and less craziness.

Trial And Error

My favorite part about the ocean is feeling so small.

Fewer worries, fewer emotions and less craziness in the world for those few moments are always worth it. Nowadays, while watching and hearing about the craziness in this world, it’s challenging to choose to focus on the good parts.

Everyone has a different interpretation of this world. We have the choice to see this world as deadly, cruel and destructive. We can see it as hopeless and depressing.

Even though I do get in those funks sometimes where I get sad about what our world has been, I see it as a perfect time to have a chance to make a difference and experience true love with real people. In my opinion, our world needs more people who aren’t going to be afraid to forgive, who aren’t going to be afraid to love people without fearing of not being loved back, who aren't afraid to go against the norm or help as many people as you can without asking for anything in return. Things aren’t going to go perfectly by any means, and people aren't always going to agree with you or appreciate you.

Life is a big game of trial and error. The beauty of this is finding out the real people of the world, helping people in need and finding true happiness in whatever that maybe.

Let’s be less focused on the hating and more focused on things that actually matter by caring for one another through thick and thin and realizing this life isn’t forever.

Always find the good in the world, even if it’s hard to recognize, because life is too dang short for negativity.

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.
