You Are Good Enough For Whatever It Is That You Want

So what if you weren't the first pick?

7

So she didn’t choose you?

Alright, that entire statement is horrendous in the first place; why are you even losing any sleep over another human being that had more than one choice? Always hold yourself up to a standard that you are not a choice. Your first mistake was even thinking that you were an option because I’m going to be honest, you aren’t.

You knew what you wanted, you didn’t need any other option than the only option, and that was the one human being that you wanted. Some people are lucky; they end up with the person who loves them just as much as they love them. Those are the people you look up too.

After going through everything, realizing you aren’t an option, you do some soul searching, you do some screwing around, you spend too much money at the bar, and you stay up way too late with people you don’t even know. All for the fact of feeling something other then what you are actually feeling. We have all gone through it and it is completely okay, because once you get to the step of actually acknowledging the fact that you are worth so much more, you are very attractive, and you have a bright-ass future ahead of you, then you start to fall back in love with yourself and the life that you are living. That is what matters the most.

So stop thinking about it in the sense of you weren’t picked, or it wasn’t the right time, or that it just didn’t happen because of some odd alien explosion on a different planet. You were good enough, and you still are good enough, just maybe not right now and maybe there is someone way better out there that is just waiting for you to stroll along their path. So until that day happens, keep on doing what you are doing, keep staying out late with a heavy bar tab, keep waking up early the next day, fall in love with your life, fall in love with your friends, and fall in love with the process.

Believe in the process, believe in the path you are on. It always gets better, no matter what happens.

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.
