Why It's Important To Accept Change
everydayinterviewtips.com

I don’t really think of January as the beginning of a new year. To me, the school year is what marks the beginning and ending of each year that passes. Basically, the end of May is my January. So right now, in my brain, a brand new year is beginning. New beginnings naturally bring change. Perhaps you’re graduating college, getting ready to start college, moving out, or starting a new job. It’s quite possible several major changes are happening in your life right now. A lot of people fear change, but I think it’s all about your mindset. It’s easy to stay in the same place and only want to do familiar things and see familiar people. But, when the things around us change it’s our job to change too. You can’t cling on to the past or wish things could go back and be a certain way that they used to be. Getting older has helped me realize that there’s nothing quite like the present. We never realize that what we have in a moment is something that we are going to miss someday, until the day we miss it comes. Adapting to changes around you can be difficult. Some may even find change to be depressing. The thing about change is that it is inevitable. The life you may be leaving behind to make room for change was the result of a different series of changes you went through. Take change in stride. We live our lives in chapters. There’s nothing wrong with being resistant to changes around you, but it’s important to keep a smile and a positive attitude.

Never forget that in order to get where you want to go, you can't keep doing the same thing. Saying goodbye to people and places that you've grown to love is never easy but it paves the way for you to build new memories and relationships that will also last a lifetime.

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.

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?
