Hey you,

No matter what's going on, it's always going to be okay. Please stop saying slightly worrisome things like you don't want to be here and making people worry about you. I know you probably don't want to be here. If everything seems as if it's not going the way that you want or expected know that things usually work out in the end. Everything has seemingly served a purpose up to this point in your life. So please, please, stop stressing about everything going wrong.

If you can't stop crying, that's alright, it's going to eventually stop and you'll be able to breathe through your nose again. No worries.

Be patient. You're not the only one that's going through things. We all have our own problems. We all have our own burdens. You are never, ever, ever alone.

Also-- you do have a purpose. You've made more of an impact on people around you than you know. Always remember that you are gonna be alright. It's so absolutely okay. You matter. You matter to your entire family. You matter to all your friends. And your fur-children!!!

Please be patient with that little mind too. Sometimes it's going to tell you like you're no good and you're worthless. But trust me, you're really not. You are good. Your life has worth. You are worth so much to so many people. It's not fair that your mind does this to you and makes you think otherwise but you constantly have to remember that you are loved and that it's going to be alright always.

I know some days it seems like there are no reasons to do anything. Stay in bed. Take a break for an hour (or a day). But don't let your mind ruminate. Stop letting it control your mind!

We're going to be alright.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

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.

"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.
