Southern Gentlemen, We Need You Up North

I just really don't understand northern guys...

Southern Gentlemen, We Need You Up North

I am sitting here right now, wondering... Why are guys out of state so much easier to talk to? Why are they so much nicer? Why do they actually seem to care about my feelings? WHY DON'T WE HAVE GUYS LIKE THIS AROUND HERE?

Well let me tell you what I have come up for as far as answers to the questions above. First, I think it's because they aren't physically here to see face to face. We text, snap, or FaceTime, but they are not actually here. Second, I think they are so much nicer because they are from the south and guys from the south were raised right by their mama's! Last, but finally not least, I think they actually care about my feelings, because they were raised right by their mama's.

As far as why don't we have guys like this around here, I am not saying their mothers didn't raise them right, because I am sure they were raised just fine; it's just the environment. The guys around here get hanging with the wrong people and it's over, and they know their mom's won't do anything about it, I like to say mom's here are too soft on their sons. Mama's in the south don't give a sh**. You hurt a girl's feelings or anything like that and your mama will kick your a**.

I am going to give you a little more detail about my situation... The guy I have been talking to lives in the southern states and he is the most respectful guy I have ever talked to in my entire 23 years of life. He actually cares about how my day went, he takes the time to listen if i am having a bad day. He is just an amazing guy! He makes me feel like I can talk to him about anything. This whole situation gives me hope; it also makes me realize how the guys up here really are.

I know I keep saying the guys up here, but let me just rephrase most guys up here... I can tell you one thing for sure - most guys up here only care about one thing. It's honestly sad, growing up I honestly thought the guys around here were the best things in the world... But boy, was I wrong. They are the most inconsiderate men i have ever met... Again, some - not all! I can't really put all men in one category, because they aren't all the same. There are some good guys around here. I seem to just attract one kind... The bad ones!

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?
