Me, Myself and I
Hello and welcome back ❤
This week my post is dedicated to my personal struggle with finding positivity as a college student. Being a student is stressful enough, but when you start adding on to that with things like organization involvement and jobs, life can get a little rough. So I wanted to talk to y’all about how I found positivity though the struggle and how it helped me bloom into who I am now.
As you may know from my welcome post, I have always had a pretty positive mindset. There were a few stages in my life where my positivity levels were not as high as they could have been, but those stages were all learning lessons and have all lead to tremendous blessings.
Within the months leading to my start at Nicholls, I struggled with finding happiness in anything at all. My great grandmother, who was also my best friend growing up, had passed at the beginning of 2017 (the year I began my college career). When I lost my great grandmother, I felt as if I lost a part of myself. She was someone I truly looked up to and having her taken from me truly broke my heart.
So, when I began at Nicholls in the fall of 2017, I planned on being a nursing major. I was not happy in my major and had so much trouble trying to find motivation. In the spring of 2018, I took MACO 101 and it changed my life! I realized that Mass Communications was the department that made me feel excited to do my work and gave me a reason to be in school. Dr. Linda Martin was the professor for the class that changed my college experience for the absolute best.
In that class I met the person who is now my best friend, I figured out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and I found happiness again. It was towards the end of that spring semester in 2018 that I went back to my old self and started being super positive again.
I joined plenty of organizations within my major and surrounded myself with super supportive people and I have really blossomed ever since.
I try to be as positive as I can. Even the smallest things can make a huge difference in someones life. I try to give out compliments as often as possible and do things that can help others!
Hugs, Smiles :), and Positivity
