To The Person Who Is Trying

There's no feeling in the world like not feeling happy with yourself. For whatever reason that may be, I'm here to tell you you're doing an amazing job. Whether you have no one really on your side rooting for you, or whether you lost the person who was your biggest supporter, or for any other reason, you're still here and your life matters.


I want to remind ever lost soul, even you the person reading this, that you're enough. You have influences in your life you have no idea about.You are in this world for a reason and in your lifetime you have a contribution to make. No matter how big or small that may be, you will make a change. Whether it be to one person, or thousands. You are amazing and I know you want to give up sometimes and I know you don't feel like you're going to impact anyone. That's the Devil talking, I'm here to remind you, your impact is needed in this world. You have a special gift to offer the world and others around you, whether you see it or not.

You may have had a really rough upbringing, or an amazing upbringing, that doesn't define how a person feels. Even the riches of folks get sad. Your actions define you and define the impact you make in this life. Whether you come from a trailer park, or come from a 3-story mansion, your actions in the end will define you. You're going to change the world, whether it be the world for one person or a 100 or 10,000. Don't let your potential go wasted. Be the person you need in your life. Be the person who learned, grew and became a better person from your situation. Don't let the potential you have in this life wasted because ONE person told you that you couldn't do it. Until you give up, you're still trying and that's just plain awesome. You haven't given up, you're proving your "haters" wrong and you're going to be successful.

Like with this article, if I've reached out to one person, I've accomplished something. I'm here for a reason, just like you. My reason is to remind people of the blessings they currently have in their life, compared to all the negativity surrounding them. Focus on the light, on the good, and the good Lord will see you through your troubles and help you overcome any battle you're facing. Whether it be small or big, he will deliver.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

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.
