On To The NEXT One?

So you're ready to start dating again...

On To The NEXT One?

What makes you think you're ready without being ready? Not sure what I mean? Well, let me explain. Whether the relationship you're getting out of ended on a positive note or a negative, don't throw away the napkin after one wipe. Most times, you'll have to grab another because you've missed a crumb, if not many.

Let's say you decided to go out that evening after ending things with your now ex partner earlier in the day just to get it off your mind and just thought you'd be A-OK. It's not as easy as you think because when you start chatting it up with an complete stranger. It may seem like heaven at first but true hell at the last. You're going to get immediately trapped in your feelings and lose it! Maybe you hold back from telling this person you just met that you ended things with someone only a few hours ago, and try to hold your composure while with this random flame...BUT you suddenly get emotional and walk away from the scene, leaving them questioning if they care enough that they aren't getting further than that club tonight!

On the other hand, you could be very open and spill your guts after a few drinks with the tears flowing and they'll pretend to care. Hello? They just want a good time and couldn't care less that your eyebrow game or personal hygiene is off for the evening with the rest of you!

The point of this post is to commonly understand that, no matter how strong you may think you are, you are NOT ready to barge into another big bang shabam of any sort with anyone because you haven't developed a proper relationship with yourself. Practice catering to yourself as the Queen or King you could only wish to ever be and then use those skills and apply them in the future!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
