Breaking Up With The Magic Kingdom

"It's Not You, It's Me"
Victoria Leigh Keiser

Let me begin by saying that I am not a vulnerable person, but you seem to get the best of me when it comes to my emotions. You just seem to understand what I'm feeling and have the perfect cure for when I'm blue. I know it has been awhile since we last saw each other, but I need to tell you how much I miss you.

Being so many miles away from you is tough because I long for everything about you. I miss the way you look, the way you smell. I miss how comfortable you made me feel under any circumstances. When I was surrounded by you, I felt home. You created a peace within me that I never knew was possible. Opening my eyes to so many possibilities, you gave me hope.

Your perfection was hard to say "goodbye" to. Granted we spent every day together for ten incredible months, I was bound to find one of your flaws. Even still, I never got tired of our time together. As each minute ticked by, the smile on my face grew a little wider and my heart filled with a little more love for you. I couldn't imagine my life without you.

Each day I spent dazzled by you, I learned something new. I saw that adventure was waiting for me out there in this big, beautiful world. I looked past the frontier, over the mountains, and experienced the pleasure of seeing different lives outside of my own. I danced with princesses and learned to dream with fantasy filled thoughts. I hoped for tomorrow, seeing how astonishing the future could be. But most importantly, I always had a middle ground to collect myself and analyze all the knowledge you brought to me.

With you, I was never bored, nor did I ever feel unwanted. You loved me through it all, even when I would just stand at the beginning of Main Street USA and stare at how handsome and beautiful you are. It was always hard to get alone time with you, but we managed through. While I was frantically coming to see you at 3 p.m., pushing my way through the crowd, it never bothered me at all. Why? Because I knew you were holding a special place for me. The magic you created, even with thousands upon thousands of people near you, was enough for this girl.

On my last night with you I began crying my eyes out watching 'Wishes' for the millionth time, I whispered something that I wasn't sure if you heard above the awe of the crowd. I told you that this wasn't our goodbye, but a "see you real soon." I hold that promise near to my heart because I know how much truth it holds. Leaving you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I don't regret it. You will always have a special place in my heart, even when the years go by and we are not connected physically with each other.

Please don't ever lose your magic, and please don't ever forget me. I know you have had so many others before me, but our time together is a treasure I will take with me wherever I go in this life. I miss you, Magic Kingdom... And I love you.

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?
