Leave Me Alone

I do not understand why one could ever want to settle for anything in life.The United States of America is known to fulfill dreams and give opportunities to people of all nationalities. This one life given to you by God, spirituality, or science should be spent doing anything and everything you LOVE. Unfortunately, I have been mocked for wanting more for myself than the standard, average or anything above mediocre. Personally, I want a gold fence outlining my house to keep the unwanted out but I want people to be able to look in. My goal is to be an example for others than you can have it all and you should obtain it all. My family, with or without children but includes my husband, will be a family full of love, happiness, and great health(Love is a major key. *DJ Khaled voice*). Aside from anything personal, my professional life is what I will not settle for. I dream to be an author, entrepreneur, and a brand. Let me say this though no matter what standard I choose to set for myself, my ultimate goal in life is to be unconditionally happy.

My bank account will have so many commas corporate America will be jealous, possibly Oprah Winfrey too. I want to be rich, stupid rich, and foolishly rich. My money will work for me in numerous forms in a way that taking a year to travel with my beau will always be a topic of conversation. I will admit it. I want to be as famous or relevant, in a more positive way, as Kim Kardashian but with a bank account as Bill Gates. I would be willing to exchange the fame for more many but branding yourself seems to be very important when it comes to joining the class of new money. If you do not know, I enjoy writing so I would like to write some books, no reality television show, but maybe be a part-time talk show host. My life consists of achieving so many goals that I get myself tired just by thinking about. I do not want to settle. I deserve it all.

Shame on you people for mocking me about my dreams. I do not know who crushed your spirits growing up or recently, but I do not want you to crush mine. We can be friends or associates but I want you to be my enemy and my motivation. I will use your negativity to push me into a lifetime of prosperity and happiness. At the moment, I am preparing myself to achieve my goals by tolerating garbage teachers and spending long nights doing homework to be able to teach at my alma mater. I am building my resume to make myself marketable against other instructors to be able to teach at a two-year college full-time. Every day I am working towards a goal that is bigger than you and me. Do not mock me for having aspirations that you cannot achieve. This is why you do not tell big plans to small minded people.

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?
