A New She

She thought wrong.

She has never had experience with drugs. None of any kind, she thought, but maybe she thought wrong.

She thought he was just a boy. Just someone who came into her life to show her everything she didn't deserve, just someone who treated her in all the wrong ways, just someone who used love as a weapon. She thought wrong.

She never thought that a boy could be so much more than just a boy. She never thought he could be a magnet, pulling and pulling her into his grasp. She never thought he could be a drug, blinding her from the side effects. She never thought he could be so addictive, making withdrawal almost impossible. She thought wrong.

She thought the final split would be easy. Cut it cold turkey, and she'll be fine. Leave no strings attached because that's just a connection making it easy to go back. She thought complete ignorance would be bliss. She thought wrong.

She thought she could come back and not care one bit. She thought he would be out of sight, out of mind. She thought her mind was clean. She thought the magnetic pull was gone. She thought wrong.

She thought maybe her had changed. She thought maybe there was a chance. She thought she could do it again. She thought it would all work out. It was meant to be all along. She thought wrong.

She was hurt again, addicted again, shattered again. No one was there to pick up the pieces except him. He was there building her up just to tear her back down. No one saw it as it was completely hidden. If anyone had known, they wouldn't have helped because originally they all thought right while she thought wrong time and time again.

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?
