Would you still love me

at times I do not love me?

Or times when all I ever do is love me?


Would you still love me when I bitch?

When I break?

For God's sake

would you still love me when it pours?

Or when I pour out symptoms of crazy

but it is love that has a hold on me.


Would you still love me if I was mumbling?

bummin’?

Slurring my words?

What seems absurd

is the way I fail to serve the action you seek

so you say I’m acting


But what am I really doing

if it’s often in return for nothing

except

loving this piece of nothing to death

and he only drives me to deathbed

and casket spelling

Rest well my lady,

I will love you forever and ever

and forever whenever

the time doesn’t seem to get better


I'll know your names weight on my shoulders

and I'll know your kiss

because I know your lips

well enough to speak for you


I know your sound

I know how you walk so I follow in my ego

I know how you say I love you

With your eyes believing in your lie

but I forever believe in the lie


Would you still love me

when all I own is an aching soul mumbling

bummin'

boycotting love for the 5th time this week


Will you still love me when it rains rocks

and we write the pain on paper as proof

And cut bones out with scissor

And show them how naked our sex really feels at the alter screaming encore

And I want next


Would you still love me

at my best,

at my worst

or

even when you don't?

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
