In A World Full Of So Much Negativity I Am Glad I Have So Much To Be Thankful For
Madyson Thompson

This thanksgiving and every day I am thankful for the same few things. I have the best mom ever, two great brothers, an amazing boyfriend, and awesome friends.

I have an interview for an internship soon and break is almost here.

There's always things that will bring negativity to your life, the key is cutting it out if you can and I have done exactly that within 2019. This year has been far from perfect, I've definitely hit a few bumps and have been stressed out but I had the same solid support system and I will always end up on top with those people in my life.

Of course it sucks that a piece of my family is missing every holiday, but some people do not have anyone there with them to celebrate so you have to look on the positive side.

2019 has been good to me, it allowed me to grow as an individual, as a sister, a daughter, and a girlfriend. It has allowed me to cut ties with people I view as toxic to my life and brought me closer to others. I am thankful for a lot this year and it is not yet over.

To the future I welcome you, just let's slow time down a little.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
