January 2013- Like Attracts Like

I remember being so nervous the first time he told me that he wanted to skype. When he suggested that we try it out, I immediately ran to the bathroom to fix my hair and make sure that what I was wearing was flattering. I also remember having some serious technical difficulties. For some reason, he couldn’t get his camera to work the first time we Skyped, so I couldn’t see him but he could see me. If I remember correctly, we could both hear each other as well. The conversation started off kind of awkward, which was to be expected… but it wasn’t long until he was basically reading my mind.

He said such beautiful things to me and I always felt like there was such a connection between us. The first skype conversation we had lasted for well over 3 hours. We talked about so much but what really made me feel like our relationship was genuine was the fact that we talked about The Law of Attraction… something that, at that point, I had only discussed with my younger brother. The Law of Attraction is a practice near and dear to my heart and the fact that Jay not only knew about it but practiced it as well was so amazing to me. I loved the fact that we could have conversations that went deeper than how our day went and what our plans for the weekend were.

Jay also had a great interest in practices like Lucid Dream, having Out of Body experiences and mind reading, you know the things Sci-Fi movies are made of. It didn’t bother me though because I too found the topics interesting and, again, really enjoyed having someone to talk about them with. I found something special about Jay, though… it always seemed like he could read my mind and not just figuratively but literally. And here’s where things started to get interesting…

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?
