February 2013- Rose Colored Glasses

When Jay first told me that he was “seasoned” in mind reading I honestly didn’t know how to react. I was sure that mind readers did exist to some extent, I mean I can’t count how many times I’ve called a friend in their time of need because I could sense it… but he was speaking a level that I don’t think I was ready to comprehend.

This part is hard for me to explain because if you didn’t experience it, there really is no way to put it into words but I’m going to try my best.

There were times where Jay and I would Skype and suddenly it would sound like he was having a conversation with himself. It would go something like this:

*Silence*

Him: “Yeah? Is that what you think?”

Me: *Silent but smiling*

Him: “cut off shorts? Really?”

Me: *Confused, but still silent and still smiling*

Him: “Tell me more.”

This would go on for about 10 minutes until he would either stop talking or I would interrupt with… changing the subject? I wasn’t sure how to react in the situations. The first time this happened I knew, I KNEW, that something was wrong but I ignored it. Flags were flying all over the place and my gut was telling me to get out of the situation but I was so caught up in the fact that I was involved with someone else who practiced the same things I did.

Jay thought he could do a number of things. Aside from his belief that he could hear my thoughts and have conversations with me telepathically. He also believed that he could see exactly what I was seeing through my eyes. Oh, and I can’t forget the fact that he believed he could teleport his physical body to wherever I was and often claimed that he would watch me sleep.

I know what you’re thinking. “HELLO!? How could you not have realized that something was not right?” I’ll tell you how, because as crazy as everything that I just said sounds, sometimes he was spot on...

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?
