The Emotions of Spring

According to Willem Dafoe

The Emotions of Spring

The transition from winter to spring is a very emotional time, one that only the incredible talents of Academy Award Nominated actor Willem Dafoe can accurately portray.

We begin our emotional journey on the first warm day of the year...

Excitement: YES! Spring is here! The snow is melting, the plants are looking slightly less dead, and if I can avoid shadows it is actually pretty warm out. That is, until...

Disappointment: Oh look. More snow. I don't know about you, but nothing makes me want to celebrate spring more than freezing temperatures and that white filth.

Uncertainty: Are you ready for constantly checking the weather app and always wearing layers? Be prepared to experience at least three drastic temperature changes on any given day.


Frustration: They put summer clothes out at target 17 days ago! Why is it snowing?!

Delusion/determination: Alright, screw it. I know there are 8 inches of snow on the ground right now, but I am wearing these shorts because It. Is. Spring.

Woe: I've finally come to terms with the fact that there will never be spring. We are doomed to an eternal winter.

And finally,

Incomprehensible joy: I never thought this day would come, at last we are free from the tyranny of winter. Thank you, summer. Thank you.

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?
