I will tell you this. If you can't give her all of you, leave now. She is a storm not many can control, but if you are the right guy for her, you wouldn't even try. She is not meant to be controlled, but only to be loved.

She'll never stay silent about your mistakes, and she will always tell you how she thinks something should be done. Remember that it's not because she is trying to criticize you or letting her ego get in the way, but because she loves you and she wants you to become a better person every day. Not for her, but for yourself.

I hope that you will compliment her. She says she hates compliments, but if she smiles when she says that, does she really?

Take her places. Let her take your hand in hers and give you the world the way she sees it because the way she sees it is pure and untouched by malice. And honest. Be honest with her. She may get frustrated by the truth, but that is because she expects better things. Do your best to give her those things. And if you mess up one too many times, she won't hesitate to leave you in her dust. Even if she did, I wouldn't hesitate to step in for her.

Give her a chance to transform you. To transform your life. And help her. Lend her your hands, your ears, your eyes. Lend her your skin so she can crawl underneath it when hers isn't enough to protect her from the demons that she battles every day. She is confident, but she is also compassionate. Her every action is orchestrated by what she believes in; being vain is something completely unfamiliar to her. Don't take advantage of this.

Instead, appreciate it and appreciate her. Your gratitude will only make her love for you grow. She will love you even on days she doesn't feel like loving herself. But first, you must love her too. Love her with an intensity so fierce it makes lightning bolts look like amateurs. Love her, because only that will prove your worth to her.

She will set the bar high for you every time. She will make her walls so high; they will start to seem insurmountable to you. And when they do, know that it is her way of offering you a choice: to get in or get out. I hope you make the right decision when this happens, but more importantly, I hope you make the decision that brings her happiness.

I have already made mine. And now I die a million deaths climbing and falling.

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?
