How Reading Books And Weddings Are Similar

I donā€™t know about the lot of you, but I know that I hate reading a book while there is a lot of hype about it. Almost like looking at the bride as she walks down the aisle. Instead, I look at the groom. Not because I want to see if he looks scared or not, but because I always notice that shimmer of love and purity in his eyes. He doesnā€™t take his eyes away from the girl in the white dress--attached.

That is why I donā€™t read books while the hype is ongoing. Because if I do, it is like I am looking at the bride that is always stared at. She is the one who receives the most congratulations; the most present are meant for her, and she is the one that gets to spend literally thousands on her entire appearance. Sure, she is beautiful and very special, but he put up with bridezilla more than anyone. In most cases, he was the one who had to pull her away from her desk at 1 in the morning to come to bed so she could be up at 6 for work. He was the one that had to deal with the exuberant spending and mood swings because the flowers she wanted werenā€™t in season.

He is just as worthy to look at.

So, back to the books. If you read the book while everyone is actively expressing their opinions, they have a high chance of influencing you to continue the book, or leave it on your bookshelf to collect dust. They also have a high chance of hindering your true feelings of the book. Wait a while to read the books everyone else is reading, because you will have a better chance of liking it--or hating it--for your own reasons and not someone elseā€™s.

Look at the groom, especially before you look at the bride.

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 ā€˜wildest dreamsā€™. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, Iā€™m still in awe of the spectacle ā€˜Miss Americanaā€™ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylorā€™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 clichƩs, 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 donā€™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. Donā€™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 youā€™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. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™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?
