Thanks for the memories.

To My High School Friends, Those Four Years May Be Over But I'll Never Forget You

Its been almost a year since some of us graduated high school, while others are experiencing their senior year now. Since then, we have all mostly gone our separate ways with the exception of the occasional "how are you" text every few months.

I just want to thank y'all for all of the memories, from the mornings before school chilling in the parking lot to driving all around the city and getting lost. I also want to thank y'all for the bad memories, from all of the petty arguments to the unnecessary Snapchat stories.

Thank y'all for dealing with me. I know sometimes I can be such a handful, especially with me being as talkative as I am. Thank y'all for listening to my never-ending rants about how chaotic my morning was.

I know and completely understand that we all have our own separate things going on in life and that is isn't easy to keep up with each other like it used to be. Maybe we should plan a day to catch up on what's been going on.

Even though none of us really communicate anymore, I want y'all to know that no matter what I will always be there for you.

Y'all will forever have a friend in me. Please feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to rant to or if you just want someone to have a conversation with.

And to the friends that I've lost because of some dumb argument. The exact same goes for you. We were all young and extremely immature and I like to believe that people mature and grow over time. I'm not going to hold a grudge over something that happened three years ago.

Thank y'all for everything, seriously.

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?
