Failure: an event that no one wants to encounter, but everyone does.

However, what is success always seen as:

Success: the result of many failures.


When life goes your way, you typically don’t think anything of it besides that of excitement, thrill, adventure, change; the list goes on and on. However, the second life doesn’t go as planned, the second you encounter failure, that is the moment that you begin to rethink. You rethink what you know and you rethink what you thought you knew. And that’s okay.

Having a plan is always great, but having a back-up plan is even better.

Trust me, it does get better.

Whether it is a break-up, a rejection letter, or some other bump in the road, you will get through it, and then, ten years from now, look back and be thankful.

Remember, everything happens for a reason.

That being said, there is always a brighter side of the road.

Walt Disney famously said,

“Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We Keep Moving Forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

Never forget, there are always new doors to open.

Find Them.

Sincerely,

The One Who Moved Forward.

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?
