10 Thank Yous To My Biggest Supporter

Dad,

1. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me.

You’ve always told me that I could be whatever I wanted to be. Regardless of my child-like ideas, you’ve been behind me 110 percent. (Even if i just wanted to be a mermaid.)

2. Thank you for being there for me at my best.

Whether it was one of my soccer games, volleyball matches or golf tournaments, you always let me know how proud you were of me. You congratulated me in everything I did, even if I didn't do well.

3. Thank you for being there for me at my lows.

The amount of times I have come to you in tears is at least in the hundreds, but never once did you turn me away. You picked me up off the ground, gave me a big hug and always left me with something to be thankful for.

4. Thank you for giving me your humor.

You know how important laughter is to me, and you never cease to tell me a good joke. Whether it’s a text when I’m in the middle of my high school graduation ceremony or a call at 2 a.m. because you’re working the night shift. A funny story never goes unappreciated.

5. Thank you for being the only person I can truly confide in.

I can tell you my biggest secrets and know that it stays between us. It is so important to have someone that you can come to with anything.

6. Thank you for always teaching me that happiness is found within yourself.

We will never be satisfied if we look for happiness in other people. You always told me that you can’t be happy with anything else, unless you are truly happy with yourself.

7. Thank you for teaching me how important it is to put others first.

You always put others before yourself. It is by far one of my favorite qualities about you. Whether you are sleeping or in the middle of taking care of a patient, you always made sure that you made me a priority when I needed you.

8. Thank you for loving me fiercely without hesitation.

Even if we’re in a fight, you never left without telling me that you loved me.

9. Thank you for never letting me quit.

College is hard. There have been times where I don’t want to push on. You made me. You pushed me to finish because that is the type of people we are. We’re in it for the long haul and we don’t give up on things we’re committed too.

And finally,

10. Thank you for giving me the world.

The unthinkable happened and my world felt like it was falling apart two years ago, but you strived to make it work. Even though you left, you did everything in your power to still provide strength and love to hold on too.

I know I don’t say it enough, but thank you. These are just 10 reasons why I’m thankful for you, but we all know I could write a book about it. You love me when I least deserve it and support me without me knowing. At an early age, you provided for me. I know no matter how old you get, I can always count on you to be in my corner.

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?
