From Squad To Family

They've taught me so much about myself.

From Squad To Family
Linnea Glas

I’ve always had a hard time making friends, well, making friends that I want to keep. Usually, we’re friends for a while and then sometimes happens and we aren’t chilling anymore. I had a minor squad back at the end of high school, however, I was a senior at the time and heading off to college so I didn’t get to be with them for that long. It wasn’t until my second year at college, I really found my squad, a group of students that just being around them made any bad day turn to a good day. They were as they like to call their selves, a super animation squad and man are they super. Now they don’t know just how much of an impacted that they’ve had on my life, due to their art, jokes and really bad meme jokes.

I've never seen a group of people more willing to help others or learn about other cultures or just to goof off, fun trips to Applebee's and make a BA Christmas album. They've taught me so much about myself and I know they've earned from each other. It always takes me a long time to call a group of people my friends, even longer to call them my squad, but rarely do I call people my family, and that's what they are to me. The college family that I know will always be there for me. With ever dab, pun, crazy theory or really bad joke, you won't find another cooler group of dudes anywhere else. They fly free on the wings of unicorns and will never stop being 10000% times cooler than anyone you can think of or have a picture of on your camera roll. They are my new family and I always will go to the end of the world for my families.

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?
