We all have those people that we just connect with naturally. You may be looking for love or trying to find people, but as Taylor Swift puts it, the best feeling is when you "wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time". These people are your best friends and these are the reasons why you are lucky to have them in your life:

1. They’re always ready to give you the thumbs up when you need it. When you’re self-conscious or nervous about something, you can always count on them to give you the best pep talk.


You believe "you'll kill it" because they said so.

2. They’ve seen you at your worst and you don’t even care because they love your craziness.


They'll even join you in the weirdness..life's too short to feel embarrassed.

3. You can sass each other without feeling guilty.


That's how you find humor in situations.

4. You might drive each other insane at times but that only brings you closer in the end.


One comment like this is usually followed by a million hugs and "I'm so sorry"'s.

5. When you are feeling down, they’ll be the first to give you a big hug and tell you everything will be okay.


When you're not touchy-feely, but you give your friends the best hugs anyway.

6. They’ll listen to you no matter what…even if what you’re saying is complete nonsense.


Hey, at least you're learning what's acceptable and what's not.

7.They’re “your lobster” so they’ll never leave your side.

Who wouldn't want to be someone's lobster?

8. You can vent to them whenever. They know everything about your life and are willing to join you on the emotional roller coaster.


When you just want to let out the feels.

9. They’ll be brutally honest with you even when you don't want to hear it because they want to protect you.


How could you say that?? Oh wait, its true.

10. You have so much in common. You connect on every level and they can easily make you smile.

Even if it means bringing you food!

11. You don't need words to communicate sometimes...they just know.


You know you're close when your look says it all.

12. Let’s face it, we all feel alone sometimes and you’ll feel comfortable complaining to them.


But in the process, you’ll realize you’re not alone at all because they are right there with you.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
