If Life Were Really Like A Nicholas Sparks Movie

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

If Life Were Really Like A Nicholas Sparks Movie

For anyone who has seen a movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, you understand the bittersweet feeling of watching a beautiful relationship grow on-screen while you sit alone on your couch eating Doritos. You might feel dissatisfied with your average, loveless, drama-free existence. You might wish real life was like that. But, I'm here to tell you: the Nicholas Sparks life is not what it seems. In fact, considering most of the facts, it would probably suck.

1. It would be summertime all the time.

In the world of Nicholas Sparks, it often seems that summertime is the only time that love can bloom. It sounds nice at first, but if you enjoy the change of seasons — and not sweating all the time — this could present a problem for you.

2. Someone would probably disapprove of your relationship.

Most likely a parent or another family member, and most likely their disapproval stems from either you or your significant other's financial status or family history. There would be a lot of fighting going on because you're a teenager living in the South with either a lot of money or no money, and Nicholas Sparks only wants bad things for you.

3. Every time it rains, you would have to make out with someone.

This is not a joking matter. Is it humid outside? Is there a chance it could turn into precipitation? Better go find your boyfriend/girlfriend. Because when water falls from the sky, Nicholas Sparks demands passion.

Every.

Time.

4. You would probably have to do some stupid stuff on the beach.

When was the last time you wanted to lay down on the sand, in jeans, and have a boy slowly and painstakingly outline your entire body with seashells? Never? Same.

Additionally, when was the last time you wanted to spend precious time at the beach trying to convince your boyfriend or girlfriend that you are, indeed, a bird?

So much time. So much energy. All going to waste.

5. Someone you love would probably have to die.

This is Nicholas Sparks, after all. Someone's gotta die to add to the romance of it all. In my opinion, it's far better to keep your life boring and romance-free because then everyone you care about could stay alive. That bag of Doritos and your couch are definitely way more appealing than tragedy.

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.

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?
