Unwanted Visitor

I'd say I was done, you let me assume I was free

Unwanted Visitor
Giulio D'Alfonso

You tried to bring me down, and I’ll admit it was a good shot.

but to think that this mental game is over, that’s pretty laughable

cause its not. The world never revolved around me, though you made

it seem like it did. Whispers of insult and insecurities, cut through my mind

like a sharp winter breeze. You see where I come from most people would

like to assume you don’t exist, but in fact like a coward you hide in the shadows,

the corners, the mist. Making me feel useless, worthless. You disguised yourself so well.

Looked like pleasure but at soon as you got me you trapped me into my own mental hell.

I’d like to say I’m done and you’d let me

assume I was free

. But as soon as you saw me happy, you changed yourself again. Selling me a palace filled with lies, you always knew

me vs you.

I was too weak to win and as soon as I lost I no doubt let you in. Because in my mind there was no

me without you.

I thought I didn’t deserve to smile. You took note of all my weaknesses, like a therapist you kept them in a

neat file.

But what you didn’t realize was I had found an

escape.

You see through words I could decide my own

mental fate.

And though this fight is nowhere near done. The one thing that truly matters is for now Unwanted Visitor,

this victim finally won.

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?
