I COME FIRST!

Strive to make you and only you happy.

I COME FIRST!

Do you ever just feel like how you look is not how you really want to look? Like these weird insecurity issues begin to form and you just don't know what to do about it? Sometimes I could look in the mirror and be so unsatisfied that I come up with a crazy plan to change everything about myself. Maybe switch up my hairstyle, or the things I eat, or the way I dress. Sometimes I feel like my personality is just not enough at some point.

Maybe I'm the only one going through that, I don't know some days I have enough confidence to last a lifetime other days I don't even want to leave my dorm room or even be looked at. I realized after some time of thinking like this that there is nothing I can do but love myself, I can't bother with how other people view me because then I would never find the time to love myself.

Don't get me wrong a good group of friends help you feel better, but sometimes I feel like its just not enough to change the way I feel. Sometimes it feels like they tell you things just because we are friends and that's what friends are supposed to do.

I mean with time these feelings change, just some days are worse than others. I don't know before I got to college things like this never used to cross my mind, but I guess college is really the place where you figure yourself out and you figure out what about yourself you love the most. As I am typing this I realize that the only thing I need to worry about is making myself happy and making sure I'm content with whatever I'm doing.

I COME FIRST and if someone ever feels the same way as me, just know you come first too.

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?
