I Swear I'm Not Crazy

Crazy is normal, Crazy is good. Love makes a person crazy.

"Why did that girl like your Instagram picture?" "Who is this girl that keeps favoriting your tweet?" "Why are these girls following you on social media?!"

When it comes to our human instinct, men and women are both the same. When either see something that they really want, they try their best in getting it. When they have it they make sure it's well protected and nothing will happen to it. When it gets lost or taken away, its the worse feeling in the world. I am not crazy, I'm a pretty sane women. What I am is jealous. I get jealous when it comes to people/things I care about and love. What I am is over protective to those I love, I just want what is best for them.

I never knew the feeling of being "crazy" until I fell in love. My group chats between my best friends would consist of me nagging at them to stop being crazy, when it came to their relationships. I would hear about how my friends boyfriend's ex girlfriend wants to stay friends and how she hated her and didn't feel comfortable about it. I just sat there telling her to calm down and to trust him and there isnt anything to worry about. I would hear about how a bunch of girls follow their boyfriend, and he would follow them back, and again I would say to calm down, stop being crazy, and to trust him.

Now months later here I am having the exact same conversation from the other side. Its not about trusting your partner, because I trust my boyfriend. It's about trusting the other people that follow him, or want to be his friend. A few months back an ex girlfriend/current friend that I could not judge, because I did not know anything about her so there was no reason to say anything bad or good about her, had attempted to seduce him. Bless me that my S.O. rejected her and constantly does each time she tried to convince him to leave me. This action caused me to dislike the girl, even with an apology. She purposely not only disrespected me, but my relationship, and my boyfriend.

Ever since this happened, I started to become "crazy". I would worry about each girl that would text, snapchat, tweet, dm, like, follow my SO, because my human instinct came out, and I start worrying about loosing the person I love and care about. I trust my SO with all my heart, but being crazy isn't about trust.

Everyone is insecure over everything. The feeling of being threatened weakens a women's mentality, it makes them more insecure. We are insecure because of this, because of my story that other girls can relate to, stories of girls getting cheated on by someone that said they loved them. It doesn't matter who it is, not matter how much trust there is in the relationship, when a girl says to do something it's for a reason. It's for her own sanity and to call her crazy and tell her "dont worry shes just a friend, dont worry I dont even know her, or nothing is ever going to happen" makes it worse, it makes a girl feel even more insecure and hurts their feelings because now another stranger has entered.

This doesn't apply to just women also, men feel the exact same way. It makes us feel like we aren't good enough, that you have to follow/have that certain person because they have/do something that we can't fulfill. My S.O. tells me to not talk to a certain person, or do a certain thing, I do it. He trusts me but not the other person. Why do I do it? not because he controls me, but because he's afraid of loosing the person he loves. The way a relationship works is communicating with each other making sure the other person feels loved and good about themselves, so that they never have to worry about loosing what they love.

So what if I am crazy, then so is every other human that has the same instincts that I do. I am selfish because I want my SO to be MY significant other and no one else's. I want my relationship to be just MY boyfriend and I, and no one else's. When you love something,/someone you do everything you can to make sure everything goes well. There will be a few bumps and hard times to make it happen, but with hard work and communication everything turns out wonderful. I am human, and I am in love, and love makes a person go crazy.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
