It will all work out

Difficulties of Dating in 2016

It is a rough road. You go through so many messages, dates and relationships and still getting nowhere. People don't go out anymore to find their one, true love. Majority of dating happens online. Many people don't have the time to go out and meet people. The people who date online, don't take it seriously. They figure " hey, it's online, I don't really know the person, so it's okay to not go further". But, there are others who do give their date a chance and start fresh. When I go on social media, the majority of my friends are either getting married to their high school sweethearts or their boyfriends and girlfriends from college. You barely hear, " We met online". It is hard for those dating online to find the right one because now, there are people who lie about themselves to make it seem like they are someone else. They don't think it's a big deal and do it for fun or if they're bored but, until the other person calls Nev and Max, then you are in for a rude awakening.

Expectation is taken too literally in dating and we expect all the good but in reality, we need to also expect the bad and take it. Some people are picky about who they want to date. People look for their "type". They want someone who is their type until they find out they aren't so nice. People are afraid of commitment. They don't want to hurt the other person because the other person feels like that's what they're capable of. They have been hurt by someone else and they carry that burden on to the next relationship which is difficult. Sometimes, letting go and trying to really make it work can help you and your date. Don't get me wrong, there are probably stories about husband and wives who met on the internet and are happy. But lately, it's like hitting a wall and going nowhere. Hope for better days and all I have to do is let love come to me.

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?
