10 Reasons To Be Thankful For Your Best Friend
"The most memorable people in life will be the friends who loved you when you weren't very lovable." -Unknown

Life can be really hard sometimes, but what makes life so much better and sometimes even easier is having that close group of people that are always by your side, the ones that know the true you, the ones that love you through the good, bad, and the ugly.

This is dedicated to all those people out there who have stuck by my side and continue to help me through this crazy journey called life.

1. I may be a little weird...but you love me anyways. You accept my weirdness and embrace it and you act a little weird with me too. That is when you know you have found a true friend for life, when you can laugh with and at each other.


2. I can tell you anything. I can tell you all of my secrets and know that you won't tell anyone else and I can do the same with you. Thanks for being such a great listener.


3. You are honest. You will tell me if I have done something wrong or screwed up. You do not sugar coat anything because you simply have my best interests in mind. So thank you for that, because fake friends will just agree with everything that you say.

4. You are comforting. Through the stupid boys, terrible work days, and bad school days you surprise me with a coloring book, some flowers, coffee and a clean room. You always know how to cheer me up with just a few of my favorite things.


5. You help keep me motivated. We keep each other in check when it comes to eating healthy and working out. You even send me those annoying texts when you see me eating bad food on snapchat to remind me of my goals.


6. You share the same interests as me. Whether it is my love for Mexican food, Pretty Little Liars marathons, or my obsession with shopping and Needtobreathe you completely understand where I am coming from and love them all the same as me.


7. Even when so much time has passed, nothing ever seems to change. We can go months without seeing each other, but nothing seems to changed. We always just pick up right where we left off.


8. You have my back not matter what. When I tell you something that someone has done to me, you tell me how awful that person is. You tell me that I deserve so much better and if they truly cared about me they would not treat me that way.


9. The inside jokes. There aren't a lot of people that I have many inside jokes with, but we share them all. These inside jokes will last a lifetime.


10. You are simply a good person. You are genuinely a good person, with a beautiful soul. You support my dreams and aspirations, make me laugh, hold all my secrets and have a beautiful soul.


Thank you. Thank you for being there through it all.

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.

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?
