Sometimes Writing Is What You Need

Why I love to write.

Sometimes Writing Is What You Need

Sometimes words become hard to speak and there's no way you can say them out loud. Sometimes the things you want to say are all scrambled in your head. Sometimes feelings you are feeling are so hard to show that you have no way of showing them. Sometimes all you need to do is write.

I've always loved to write ever since I can remember. I would make up little stories and share them with my family or I would write poems and give them to people as gifts. I could sit at a computer for five minutes and have a whole paper, poem or story done. People wouldn't be able to believe it really only took me a short amount of time to come up with something so good. Like some people enjoy doing never-ending math problems I, on the other hand, could write for days.

I love to write for many reasons, one being it helps me remember all the memories I have created in my life. Also, it's a way for me to put my feelings down on paper. Instead of crying or yelling about something I can just peacefully take out a piece of paper and write down everything I'm feeling. Then, when I go to look back at that piece of paper I will be the only one who knew what I was feeling then. I'm very private when it comes to writing, it's hard for me to hear what I have written read aloud or share it with other people. I don't know why I'm like this I just always have been.

If it wasn't for writing I would have gotten lost in my own head by now with all sorts of thoughts that would just be piled up. Writing has helped me with good and bad times and I hope it continues to help me for the rest of my life.

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.
