I Wish I Could

I wish for a second we could go back to the days when having a family was a blessing.

I wish i could go through life waiting for a welfare check. I wish i could sit at home and smoke all day while my children are at a daycare facility that the state provides. I wish that with every income tax check, I could by the newest shoes and purse, and spend $1500 on a car that will last about as long as this new bundle I have in my head. I wish I could pay four months rent on an apartment that I will eventually be evicted out of because I couldn't find a job.

I wish I had a man to call mine and vice versa. Even if he couldn't work for some reason or another; the bright side is that I would have someone who would be home with the kids. He would cook and clean and his being home would help me save me on gas because he could drive my car. I wish I could throw away my responsibilities, dreams,and goals all for a man.

I wish for a second we could go back to the days when having a family was a blessing. When a husband and a wife respected each other. The days when a man provided for his family and a woman took pride in herself and her family. Where failure and starting over was the only option when you, not everyone you asked, but when you have done all you can. I wish one day i could tell you in a way that you will understand, That what your doing is wrong. You are wrong for putting his needs before your children. Your wrong for having to work while he sits at home and plays video game. Your wrong for letting you goals and dreams die. Your wrong this is not life, this is your chioce.

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.
