What My Lokai Bracelet Really Means To Me

I’m sure most of you have seen the clear, rubbery bracelet that everyone seems to be wearing nowadays. If not, it looks like this...

This is the Lokai bracelet, and it holds a great deal of meaning for many people that wear it; however, it has become a fad, but it's way more than just a fashion statement.

When you're going on the roller coaster of life the bracelet helps you find balance within yourself so that you don’t let positive or negative events affect you too intensely.

The black bead has mud from the Dead Sea inside it--showcasing the lowest point on Earth. This is to remind you that sometimes when you’ve hit a low, you should stay hopeful. The white bead contains water from Mount Everest--the highest point on Earth. Reminding you that sometimes you’re on top of the world, so stay humble. The clear beads represent that you just have to keep going, the way Dory explains to Marlin (Nemo's dad) "just keep swimming" when they go looking for Nemo.

I never realized how much an article of clothing could actually help me stay centered and balanced when things in life start becoming too stressful, and when things were going only straight up on this roller coaster for me.

It’s a resemblance of hope, and an example that you can’t become arrogant once everything in your life is going the way that you want it to be.

If everyone could find that one thing to get them through their roughest moments, and allow them to remember that you are to stay humble with your good findings because karma is always around, I think that there would be a lot more happy people in the world.

Life is a mixture of a roller coaster and a circle combined. You're going to go up with the good times, and down with the bad times, but you know that during those bad times that roller coaster will circle right back around to the good times. And during those good times don't allow room for regrets.

No, I am not saying youneed to go buy this Lokai bracelet to find your balance in life. I am just stating that this Lokai bracelet has brought a lot of comfort to me and my life situations.

It allows me to realize no, I am currently not located at the lowest point in the Earth buried in the mud of the Dead Sea; I am still above that no matter how terrible I am feeling at that moment. The bracelet also allows me to think, OK I am at this amazing point in my life, but I'm still not at the tallest peak of Mount Everest, I can either stop now and gloat in my own glory or keep going and see how much farther I can make it.

It helps support me on my journey, wherever I may go.

I love my Lokai bracelet, and I am extremely thankful for the creator of the bracelet, Steve Izen, that came up with the whole idea. It's truly pure genius.

If you do have a Lokai bracelet, don't ever forget what the tag says that was attached to the bracelet when you bought it.

"Water from Mount Everest: sometimes you're on top of the world. Stay humble. Mud from the Dead Sea: sometimes you've hit a low. Stay hopeful."

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
