5 Accomplishments From This Summer

It is summertime and this is the time where I am always very productive. I can do anything I want to do, and I can get it done because I have more free time. We are at about the halfway point of the summer and if you are anything like me, you are searching high and low to find anything that could occupy at least a few minutes of your time and allow you to feel someone successful or accomplished. If I had to list my most prized accomplishments for this summer, it would be these:

1. I finished a whole season of "Orange Is the New Black" in one weekend.

Okay, this is not very impressive, since a lot of people can finish a whole season of a show in one sitting. This is an accomplishment for me because it usually takes me about one to two weeks to finish a whole season of a show. And this was a great season. It had many gripping moments, and I cried a lot of tears. It was very easy for me to finish this season very quickly.

2. I have maintained the largest laundry mountain known to man.

At the foot of my bed is my laundry that needs to be washed. During the school year, I keep my laundry clean and going. However, since I barely go anywhere and spend most of my time at home relaxing, I do not wash very many clothes. I have a select few of t-shirts and shorts and other things that I wash throughout the week, but that is about it.

3. I have watched every Facts YouTube videos of Irish people reacting to things.

Irish people are hilarious. Very hilarious. These videos are living proof of that. If you have not watched any of these videos, you should go do that now. As of Wednesday, I have watched every video that Facts has uploaded of Irish people discussing different topics, explaining history in a very crazy, and drunk, manner, and eating different foods that they have never heard of. I am so proud of this, because not only has this given many laughs, it has also educated me about so many things that I have never even thought of imagining.

4. I have watched Pokemon Go players find Pokemon live.

This past week, I spent some time at the University of Montevallo to get familiar with the campus and where my classes are located for the upcoming semester. During this very scenic and sweaty walk on the brick roads, I noticed that a few different people looking at me while I looked down at my iPod while I timed my walks from my residence hall to the other buildings. I was very confused at this point, but then it hit me: these people were catching Pokemon. After I realized that, I stood off to the side and watched a little. It was great. It was better than watching a game of football. This game should have live shows and should be considered an actual sport, because it is pretty cool to just watch these people play.

5. I have collected all of Niall Horan's selfies from Snapchat.

How could I not do this? Who does not enjoying seeing this cute face? Following Niall on Snapchat is the best decision I have made this year, and he does a great job rocking that puppy dog filter.

There you have it. As you can tell, my summer has been very eventful and filled with so much productivity, and I hope that it has been the same for you.

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?
