To My Mom, What Will I Do Without You?
Everypixel

Dear Mom,

You are my inspiration. The one who showed me what it is like to be caring person. The one who showed that when life throws you curve balls you should take them and knock them out the park with dignity. You taught me to be the compassionate, strong willed, and some would even say funny. I don't know who I'd be today without you. You are who I inspire to be. You take life by the horns and when you are at your lowest point you still somehow manage to think of others and put them first.

You are best mom anyone could ask for and even though I yell at you, get mad at you, or tell you that you are annoying me you still manage to be the one person that I could not go without. You are mom and I love you. I had to write a paper one day about why I wanted to be a nurse and the only thing I could think of (besides the fact that I love it and I love helping others) is because I wanted to be like you. A nurse who in spite of having an awful day makes their patients very happy, talks to them like they should be talked to (with respect; no matter how old), and cares for them whole hearty.

Mom you make everyone's day better and you are a very special person to me. I love you whole hearty even when I yell, get mad, or annoyed at you. I do not want you to ever doubt that. You are the one person I can always come to and say anything to and know that you will still love me especially for who I am (a strong independent woman like you taught me to be or so I hope I am). You are my best friend and not many people can say that.

I hope that when/if I ever have children they look at me the way I look at you; with pride and everlasting love. You are a true superwoman and I am super proud to be your daughter. I know that sometimes life can be hard on you but know that when the world is crumbling around you, you will always have me no matter what. I am your daughter and I am forever proud that you are my mom. I love you!

Sincerely,

A girl just trying to survive

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
