The Perks Of Not Being With You:

It was just a matter of time before we ended. I go through this a lot but I promise you, it is not me. I wanted to believe you would be around for a lot longer than we lasted but I saw the signs early on. You work fifty plus hours in a week and seem to be only focused on work. Let me make this clear though, I have much respect your ten hours days because I do believe they will pay off. Yet, I knew that I could nots compete with your job, house, and friends. Believe me when I say that I never wanted too. It is just those late night conversations, around eleven pm, is what I would look forward too. I may not have a fancy corporate job with a foreign car or make fancy cocktails with friends but between all the changes going on in mine, it was nice not to just see you and relax. Ignore my feelings, I try my hardest to stay out of my feelings but I always fail. I am sap. Oh but do not worry. You will not hear from me again. If you read my last post, I have already begun the healing process because I knew this day was coming. I deleted your number and any way to contact you. This time I was smart enough not to follow you on Instagram. Thank Goodness! With that being said, let me tell you the perks of not being with you.

No more sitting pretty waiting for one of your text messages. I was accumulating bags under my eyes playing around with you boy. I can finally be alone and have a dry phone. Prior to you, I was on a mission to be all alone in my life until you interrupted the party with your loud attire. Secondly, no more trying to come see you because I was definitely getting the vibe that your desire to see me was not as strong as mine was to see you. On the flip side, I will not be so selfish in this article, you do not have to worry about me. You swear on your mother’s grave that I am talking about you in my articles and one hundred times out of twelve, I most likely am speaking on you. This does not mean you need to take my articles to heart, it just means you are in my mind as I am typing them. Like I said, I will not attempt to see you or ask for you to read one of my fabulous articles because I know if I did not send you the link you would not have been interested to read them anyway.

In a week, you will be another memory. It was fun while it lasted but me and you were just not meant to be and that is ok. Again, let me be honest. I am hurt. Yes, I would like this to continue. Yes, I went through your stuff meaning I looked around your house, nothing more or less. I looked through your belongings meaning I noticed the books you were reading or have read and realized you had an extra closet downstairs. We will not speak soon and I am not ready to see you soon.

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?
