An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Thank you for letting me lose my filter completely.

An Open Letter To My Group Chat
saas

Texting you guys can truly make my day.

I appreciate that we can talk about any and everything - food, relationships, makeup, politics, dogs, sex, literally anything. I know that I can text my unfiltered thoughts into our chat, regardless of how insane they are and one of you will agree with me, or at least entertain said thoughts.

I can text the chat when I am having a good day, and I know that everyone will be genuinely happy for me, even if you guys are having a horrible day. You'll be engaged and ask about what happened, or say that you're happy for me. I appreciate this more than you guys know.

I love texting our chat when I'm having a bad day, or when something or someone makes me mad. I can type paragraphs or a million short messages; you guys don't mind. I can say every curse word known to exist and type the most questionable things, but you all just thrive off of it and then we end up in some heated discussion. At that point, I'm not even mad anymore because I'm laughing so much at all of our messages and it makes my bad days so much better.

Our group chat is so uplifting. Anytime someone sends a selfie that they feel good in, we all make sure they feel like a queen. When someone doubts themselves or their ambition, there's a 99% chance that we are all writing paragraphs about that person explaining to them why they are so wonderful and telling them to stop being so hard on themselves. When someone says that someone outside of our group chat was rude to them, our chat transforms into a "Comedy Central Roast" - it's great.

Anytime something big happens, you already know it's getting sent to the group chat. We can go from obsessing over expensive makeup to in-depth discussions about social injustices around the world in a matter of minutes. We can have conversations about the stupidest things and about things that are really important. You're all so smart and strong and I admire what you have to say immensely.

We talk about things that I feel like I could never talk about with other people. We talk about things that I'm not sure most people even discuss with their friends, but I love being able to tell you guys literally anything. If someone read our messages, they'd be very concerned and question our sanity without a doubt. But you guys taught me to that it's perfectly fine to talk about things that we're taught to keep quiet about it. I love that we have absolutely no filter and can be our true selves around each other.

Thank you for supplying me with endless laughs, correcting me when I'm wrong, uplifting me when I'm down, and for being the funniest people on the planet.

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?
