moving on is necessary

I am by no means an expert on life. If I'm being honest, who really is? We are all facing battles or bumps daily. It is so easy to get angry and throw something at the wall, scream in your pillow, or even just sit and listen to sad music. Why do we listen to sad music, when we are sad? I always say that I do, because I want to let all my sadness out. I know, that sounds crazy right? Even though it does sound crazy, it seriously works for me. It is as if me being mildly sad wasn't enough, so now I'm going to listen to The Fray or Coldplay to get really sad. Then, after I'm done being a baby I think about all the reasons I should be happy. We are all human and sometimes we just need to let out our emotions. I know that sometimes you feel crazy and maybe you don't want to tell someone why you are upset. Maybe you don't think they will understand, or make you feel better. That is a risk you might have to take. If you don't tell anyone you will keep it to yourself and try to "move on" or forget. The thing is, you can't "move on", unless you let go of something. You might think you are fine and have moved on, but it will always come back until you truly give it the needed emotions. Bottling up so much emotion and anger will crush your soul.

Life isn't suppose to be an easy game of glow in the dark mini golf. If it was easy, you would never learn anything. You are given tasks that seem impossible, so that when you actually overcome them you feel a feeling like no other. You have achieved a rewarding moment or reached a new level in life. That moment in your life might be small to some, but to you it means the world and more. One thing I have to share, is that you must, without a doubt, love your mistakes. Everything happens for a reason, there is no accident as to why you are here. There might be things you wish you could've done better, but you did them exactly like you were suppose to. So DO NOT dwell on the past. Look at today and see how you can help or live more in the moment. We can't control what happens, but we can control what we learn from it. Seek to learn, love and grow.

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?
