Love At First Glance

Have you ever felt this?

"When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it." One of the cutest quotes ever written by William Shakespeare.

Relationships and dating all have influences on people's actions and mood. Being in a relationship can be frustrating and ecstatic at the same time, like when you get into a huge fight but can’t stay mad because you love them. It has this euphoric effect that makes you wonder if you are truly happy... or infatuation has dominated your endorphin production.

When do you know if you truly love the person you are with? When does it all happen? Is it love at first site? Did you ever look into that person's eyes and think, "they are the one?"

How does this happen? Why?

Discovering a deeper connection with someone through conversation with someone is a great feeling: hearing your phone go off and seeing a text from them can make your heart melt and stir those butterflies in your stomach like nothing else. It can strengthen the knowledge that you only want to be with them and no one else. Sometimes you start talking to someone and just drift off into your own world thinking, "Wow, how can I ever be this lucky?"

This, my friends, is called love: love can bring out the best in you, and can make you feel like a kid experiencing Disneyland's magic for the first time ever day. And whenever you are not together, the only thing on your mind is them. Whenever you are together, the time goes by a little too quickly for what you can make of it. Whenever I spend time with my boyfriend, we end up watching movies or walking on the beach, but it still doesn’t seem to be a lot of time.

Experiencing the love in the air can be a wonderful feeling as well. Displaying that sweet side of you that nobody knew existed can show your friends and family just how happy you are. Love can inspire some people to do and be their best. When you're in love, you don't ever want the feeling to go away. And when you find somebody who makes you feel that way, and they also feel the same, don't let them go.

Finding someone like that nowadays can be really hard, but I know that when I found mine, it was my first semester of college... and completely unexpected. You don't have to go searching for that right person because sometimes, they'll find you. A chance encounter at the library, on the way to class, McDonald's even - I have faith that your special someone will make their way into your life. Magic often happens when you least expect it.

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?
