You Know Those Feelings You Cannot Explain?

Well, they have names.

You Know Those Feelings You Cannot Explain?
Crescent June

You know those feelings you get that you can’t explain? They all have a name.

  1. You know when you’re driving or walking through the store and you start to wonder about the lives other people live? How they have a life completely different than yours? How you have different experiences? You wonder about their lives and how they have a mind that controls all their thoughts just like you do. That’s called sonder, and you aren’t the only one who does it.
  2. You know when you look around and you just watch the people around you and you know you don’t fit in? That feeling of being different. That emotion that tells you you will never fit in. never be like everyone else. It’s called monachopisis, and we’ve all probably felt that way before.
  3. You know when you look back to your younger self and you want to tell her/him you made it to the future? You never thought you’d reach the point where you have a license but you did. Where you finally go to college when you never thought that day would come. That feeling of contentment knowing you made it to a place in your life and wanting to tell the smaller version of you is called énouement.
  4. When you don’t know if flying cars will ever exist or if The Hunger Gameswill be a reality. When you know you won’t be able to see how the world turns out is the feeling of ellipsism.
  5. Those experiences you’ve had in life, the ones you know no one else has ever had to go through. The one where you can’t talk about it because you know no one can relate. It’s exulansis.
  6. You ever get annoyed by how much effort it takes just to get to know someone? You have to get past the awkward silences and the pointless small talk. You have to learn how someone really is. Get to know their personality. Their fascinations. Commonalities that connect you. That annoying little feeling of hardship is called adronitis.

There are so many more feelings we have had but could never be described. Go to this link to find out more: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/374924737715665523/s...

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

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.
