Your Dreams Are Powerful
plaitsnponys

Some things are never easy, like trying to find the correct words to say or even coming up with an article topic that not only speaks to yourself, but gets a new message portrayed to all your readers. Lately I've had my head in the clouds; I guess I would say I've been day dreaming. Dreaming of my future, dreaming of what I want to do with my life, dreaming about what is yet to come and what I need to do in order to make it come. Dreams can be very powerful, but whether or not we choose to follow them can show how powerful those dreams truly are. I never dreamed of writing for a company such as Odyssey, but today it almost seems like a dream come true. Maybe it was like a hidden dream or passion I never really thought about until I was given the opportunity to fulfill that dream. I never dreamed about the people who would become my friends, but I chose to go outside of my comfort zone and get to know people. To this day I couldn't dream about a life without them because most of them feel more like family then friends at this point. I've always dreamed about my career choice since I was in kindergarten, and my dream grew and improved until I found myself going to college just to make that dream a reality. That's the power of our dreams. Whether they're just the littlest of things or greater than life, dreams make can make and show everyone who we are as a person even if they're never truly experience our dreams themselves.

Dreaming is a powerful tool that we use to our advantages. Dreaming helps us come up with new ideas because it's basically our thought process. Some people take dreaming to a whole new level, and then there are others who see dreaming as nothing more than something that happens in our sleep that we tend to forget once we awake. Dreams can be magical, they can be scary, they can be mysterious, they can be inspiring... basically they can be whatever we choose them to be. Everyone has dreams or goals they wish to achieve, but they can't just come true at a click of a button or just magically happen over night. If we want the magic of our dreams to become something more, then we need to go the rest of the way to make our fantasies become reality. I have a dream that one day I will perform at a place I find wonderful and magical all on its own, but my chance to make that dream is on pause. I'm not saying my dream will ever come true, but I'm also not giving up on the chance to make it come true. Never give up on your dreams no matter how silly they may seem and keep on dreaming your future and reality.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
