Meeting Myself In An Alternate Universe

Some of you may be aware of parallel universes such as the multiverse in the DC comics or even the war against the two worlds in the television series, Fringe, but what about the parallel universes in our world. It is speculated that our world is not the only one. When I say world, I mean universe if I'm not making myself clear. There is speculation that there are an unlimited amount of universes and in each one, anything can happen. For example in this world, September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed while that same day in another universe it was just a typical day at the office. This is just a simple example that is a good size in comparison, but it could be as different as one person wearing a different colored shirt. The possibilities are endless and vary on a massive scale.

So if you thought of something to happen in an alternate universe, what would it be? Would you Earth to have three moons instead of one? Would you wonder what your doppelganger picked as their major? Or would you maybe wonder if you even exist in another universe. That can happen to which leads me to another series of thoughts. What am I like in other universes? Do I exist? Am I athletic in another universe? Am I a killer in another universe. All of these questions are odd and somewhat funny but I already know the answer to all of these questions. There are an unlimited amount of universes to where anything can happen within them. So of course in another universe I'm a quarterback on a football team and serial killer in another. All of these possibilities are happening, will happen or have happened.

Its exciting to think about what my alternate selves would look like. It be very interesting if we all met up and talked about our lives. We could share the similarities and differences of our lives. We wouldn't have to keep secrets because we are talking to ourselves and we would get jokes that others wouldn't get. I can see us hanging out and having fun with each. Each version of me would have something different with them varying in scale. We would all still be similar at a core level. Its really interesting to think about. The closest thing we could experience this is through twins. Twins have a duplicate of themselves right next to them. I have always wondered what it would be like if I had a twin. Maybe one day I will meet a twin.

If I do ever meet my twin, I will be very surprised. I wouldn't know what to say or even think. It would be very interesting situation. Just imagine if an alternate you would be your best friend. If you had similar lives and experience similar things then your lives should be similar. Some of those differences do carry some weight to them. My double and I would be different but similar. That is why we have so many alternate universes. Its amazing what they could hold and who could be in them. Who knows, maybe one day you will meet you double. If so, what would you ask them?

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?
