What It's Like Dating The Strong Woman

"She's got the soul of a poet and the fire of a bullet."

This won’t be your ‘typical’ relationship. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it. She is comfortable being alone; in fact, she prefers it. She craves her space and her freedom. People are drawn to her, to her personality. She is quick to make friends but also quick to cut people out. She doesn’t let people in easily, but you see, it’s because she had to be that way.

It will take time, but she will let you in. She’s been through things most people haven’t, and those experiences have shaped her to be the woman she is today. She wasn’t handed things on a silver platter, and she doesn’t expect that to happen now. She won’t expect you to do things for her; she won’t wait for you to open her door. This may frustrate you, but she was built this way. Something happened to her that taught her to never need someone because at the end of the day the only person that’s guaranteed to be there is herself.

She won’t share her emotions to you right away. She doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions are and always have been hers, and she’s used to that. She doesn’t like for others to see her when she’s vulnerable or when she’s hurting. She doesn’t want people’s sympathy.

She’ll be stubborn. She’s used to doing what she wants to do when she wants to do it without needing anyone else’s permission. She knows who she is and what she wants and nothing will stop her from achieving her goals, not even you. She’s determined and won’t let anyone get in the way of that.

She may be too strong for you at first, but don’t worry, that’s just her outer shell. The walls she has built up to make sure she doesn’t get hurt. She doesn’t let people in because she’s afraid of what will happen when they leave. She’s independent. It took a lot of work and a lot of tears for her to get to where she is now.

She’ll want things her way. She may push you away, but that’s her way of protecting herself. Until you prove you are worth her time she’ll test you. She’ll push your buttons and test your limits. Be patient with her. She does this because she is scared. Scared to love and scared to let someone new into her world. Once she lets you in, don’t ever let her go. She’ll change your life, I promise you that.

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.
