Unsinkable Ships, Sink.

Don't ever understimate the impossible.

Broken down and tired. Physically, mentally and emotionally drained. These expressions only partially describe my life feelings at this point. Life has worn me out, but it's okay, I'm alive.

I have had a lot of time to myself to reflect on a lot of things. Relationships, school, and honestly just life in general. Things I really can't explain to people. I've got a sadness in my heart for a lot of people, I have worn myself out with school, and I have let the things of this world tear me down. We all feel like this every once in awhile. While I do not have any "real" life experience, as people call it, everything is enough to take an emotional toll on anyone at some point in time.

I say all this to say: life will knock you down. You think you have it all figured out, when in all honestly, that is nowhere near the truth. Life is laughing at you. My family tries to warn me against what I think is good, when they can see things I can't, but I don't listen, I am bad at listening to warnings, I always think I know best. Now, here I am, lessons learned with a sad heart, but still alive. Drained, but still breathing. Thank You, Lord.

I've relied on God so much through these past few weeks to show me what it is I'm supposed to be learning through my sadness. I don't have all the answers, but I know that God will never leave or forsake me. I chose a relationship over Him, and I left Him, but He never gave up on me. Though people give up on you, God never will. I, recently at one point, looked to people to make me happy, but they just can't. Maybe that's why I'm in this "funk" I'm in.

I am so grateful that I won't feel like this forever and that God truly has a plan for my life. He really does have it all planned out, and though I don't know what those plans are, I trust in Him.

"Unsinkable ships, sink. Unbreakable walls, break. Sometimes the things you think could never happen, happen just like that. Unbendable steel, bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable. I've learned to never underestimate, the impossible."

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.
