You made me feel that I wasn't enough when in reality you just never saw my potential. You never cared about my growth as a person you were too focused on yourself. You didn't have to be so selfish, you could have tried to build me up the way I built you up. You didn't love yourself so you made it impossible for me to love you. Once I found people who actually love me I realized how detrimental you were to my health. You didn't care whether I was having a good day or a bad day, you just wanted me there for your convenience. You didn't care about me at all actually, whether I got home okay or if I was having a bad day.

You only wanted to focus on yourself but that gave you no right to break me in the process. You could have done that and told me you weren't ready, but you tried to convince yourself you were ready and you hurt me so terribly. But that's okay, for we live in a generation where hurting people is okay, it's a way of life. I just wish I didn't have to fail victim to your childish ways. Real men own up to what they want they don't deceive people and hurt them just to realize that person wasn't enough. People need to figure out themselves first before they go and damage other people just to figure out that they weren't enough. I knew I was enough and I was more than enough. People make excuses just to treat people terribly and it's disgusting. If you don't know what you want stay single until you figure it out, no need to break kind people because you're indecisive.

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.
