To Those Who Feel Unlovable: STOP.
http://www.sebascelis.com

To those who feel unlovable,

Somebody brought you down so far that you can’t remember what it’s like to feel loved. Maybe it was a long-time lover, a one-night stand, or even yourself. You look in the mirror and see something that doesn’t deserve love, let alone will find it again through someone else or through self-love.

STOP. Realize that love isn’t something that everybody can give you, even though they should. Realize there are people out there that will make you feel so great and then so shitty during the span of days or months. You’ll be driven against their harsh words, but eventually you will give in and believe the words they say. STOP. Words are just words and you shouldn’t let a few letters ruin your day or life.

Ugly. Stupid. Loser. Fat. Anorexic. Gullible. These are all words somebody might have said to you. And in what justice do they have to say that? Can people prove half of what they say? No, so stop giving somebody the power do so.

You are beautiful. It doesn’t matter what others say or what you think. Beauty is such a stereotypical synonym for perfection today, and in that case, nobody is perfect anyways. Beauty is accepting your flaws as perfections and forgetting those who don’t do or believe the same.

STOP beating yourself up for some things you can’t fix about yourself. Your hair. Your face. Your brain. You were born this way. To those who couldn’t accept you as is, they weren’t your time in the first place. Find those who love you for you even if you have to go through a few flukes and mistakes

Love wasn’t meant to be easy and it shouldn’t be. If it drags you through hell and back, show hell you can take the heat. Words and hurt can’t shake you because only you can decide your fate.

STOP crying and live. Look in the mirror and realize that nobody in the world is exactly like you and being you is a gift. Don’t let somebody who tries to reject and not return the gift of your love have your love anymore. GO and be brave.

To those who feel unlovable, you are lovable, and you do not deserve damn less.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.
