Shipwreck- A Poem

She is a girl

With a broken smile

Formulated with glimmers of beauty

As well as sadness

She is thrown all these words

“We miss you,” “Where have you been?”

But still she never gets “I am your friend”

Empty messages never lead to the meaning of her shattered heart

Lonely is how she feels

The sea that surrounds her only parts for those who think it is okay to leave her soul as a lonely

Shipwreck.

A shipwreck is what she thinks she embodies

But I see her as a beacon of hope

Out on a colorful bay

Sure, her broken smile may be nothing but forced

And her mind is cast away on thoughts that she thinks are the best conclusions.

But she is strong and can withstand the hurricane of life,

This beacon is more than just a figure against a rocky coast

They are independent and do not need to feed into the constant coming and going of ocean waves,

Just how they left her.

She may feel a bit sad inside

But her spirit and spunk

Overcomes what is spit out at her.

As the waves crash into the shore,

Her spirit uplifts

Because there is a boat laid upon

The soaked and foamy sand.

She is not as alone as she thinks.

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?
