Wartime

I went to war last night

Wartime
Desmond Otto Vera

Little Do you know Night time Is war time.

I feel like The enemy of God is saying, "I'm gonna make you mine."

The worst part is when war time starts fitting the day.

Like please please just go away.

At times I feel like I'm losing this war

Honestly I don't know if I've won or lost any of the battle before.

I'm really trying not to be influenced by such negative thoughts,

but sometimes I feel like I should just take a shot.

I feel so alone even though I know God is with me,

but too many times I just feel so empty.

I sin so much why should I even be alive?

Sometimes I wonder if I should die

No, I don't plan on doing something that dumb.

Although, at times I feel like out of all the choices I have that is the only one.

I want to get better I really do.

It's just that no matter what I try nothing gets through.

I'm not alone but I feel like I should be

I don't deserve all those people who are close to me.

I want to cut everyone off,

because I really don't feel good enough.

Compliments don't ever work.

I hate not knowing if people mean the nice things they say I feel like a jerk

I wonder what life would be with out me

I picture happy faces from sea to sea

No, I'm not going do do anything stupid

I really want to feel loved and not the kind from Cupid.

I just want to feel loved in general,

but something inside thinks that's something I don't deserve or can't handle.

I feel like such a bother to the ones I'm close to

I really need to Listen to what God says to do.

He says "I'm with you until the end of time"

I know that but still I always seem to whine,

because at night is war time.

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.
