Dancing With The Devil

So darling, if the devil asks you to dance, you better say never. Because a dance with the devil could last you forever.

Dancing With The Devil
Cheyenne Colson

You can't dance with the devil and wonder why you're in hell.

He was the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. His words took your heart on a constant rollercoaster ride, and he had you gasping for every breath. He's as clever as the devil and twice as pretty. His eyes lured you in and his voice locked you down in chains. After a while you knew where he had you, but you didn't care. He made you want to sin, and every time he knocked you couldn't help but let him in.

His hands were the match to the fire in your soul, they burned your flesh every time they touched your skin. You don't even dare to ask yourself if it's wrong, because you already know the answer. They warned you about him, but you didn't listen. Now you're stuck and you don't even want to get out. You know he will destroy you in the end, yet you still adore him.

What if the devil doesn't know he's the devil? That's the saddest tragedy known to man. The story of the man who destroyed himself by destroying the girl. He didn't even know what he was doing until she was beyond broken. Now she becomes another version of him. And anyone who touches her lips will fall to the floor just as she did. The cycle continues, now Hell is empty; all the devils are here.

We crave it. It controls every aspect of the world we live in. If it isn't in our grasp, it could kill us. There's so much of it but there's never enough. We run our bones dry every day of our lives trying to earn it, but really it owns us.

Humans were designed for it. We were created with bodies that connect for a reason, like pieces of a puzzle. But there are rules, rules that will haunt you for the rest of your days if you break them. There's only one other created for you. Your dance partner. The tango is only beautiful if the dancers are connected through the soul, if not they trip over their own feet and fall flat on their face. If you injure yourself too badly dancing with the wrong person you wont ever be strong enough for the real dance. Wait your turn.

We were born with clear vision then somehow our eyes are covered by a vale. We see the devil in everything around us, but we never think to look in the mirror. Maybe this world is another planet's hell. Our bones only grow older for them to despise their own existence. We are never truly happy because the world is sad.

We think this all there is, that's what he wants you to think. The actors in his movie force you into the scene where you lose. But he isn't even the director, and he can't make a movie that's already been created. There is already an end scene, and yes you are in it. He already paid the cost for the film, and the credits that roll at the end, never stop rolling. He is very real, and so is hell. This isn't a nursery rhyme, it's a novel. There's two endings available, and one costs a whole lot more than the other.

So darling, if the devil asks you to dance, you better say never. Because a dance with the devil could last you forever.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
