Spencer was planning to spend another night alone. but one might say that's how she liked it. She put steaming water into the old rusty pot that used to contain Ramen noodles. When her father was home he would say, she ate the chili ones like they were going out of style, but of course, he never said much. Every day at 8:30pm on the dot, she would get a text message from her father which would simply read, “I love you honey, don’t forget to brush your teeth, and feed the hamster,” she didn't have the heart to tell him the hamster died almost a year earlier. She thought maybe she would tell him one of these days, but today is not that day.

Just like clockwork her phone lit up, and just as expected it was her father. Over the course of his absence this had become a nightly message. Spencer sighed and got out of the chair, her old SpongeBob Pajama bottoms were ripped, and faded making the iconic character almost unrecognizable. she went into a room set down on her bed. The springs were making loud noises underneath the weight of her small frame. She carefully moved her laptop from its perch on the wicker side table, turned on YouTube to queue up her old standby, the movie adaptation of “Columbine: Zero Hour”. The teen and seen this movie enough times she could quote it. Around the time that the movie was halfway over, she took a mentholated cigarette from her hiding place which was a hidden drawer in the bedside table. She took the smoke out of the box and sighed to herself. It was her last one, she would have to go get some more in the morning. She took too long drags off the cigarette before she extinguished it on the bed post, not even giving a second thought to the fact that there was going to be small circular burn mark in the framework of her bed. By the time that her father returned to town, none of it would matter anymore. She cuddled up in her fluffy blanket and giggle to herself when she saw the all too familiar watermelon pattern printed on them. Spencer turned to face the nightstand where she had placed a single white rose which was long passed wilted and now, it was turning shades of brown and black. She could not bear to throw the one beautiful thing away, it was the one Valentine she could truly remember getting, it was given to her by a boy she barely knew, a boy who drove a BMW, a boy who often wore a Red Sox hoodie. but for some strange reason he found it in the kindness of his heart to give a flower to the girl who he would always see sitting alone in math class. This kind gesture meant the world to her. Over the course of friendly hellos, she discovered his name was Trent, this was because his father was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan. She also knew that he liked to make different kinds of pizza and post the videos of this activity on the internet. She wondered if someday he would take her for a ride in his car and get her plastic flowers so they might not start to smell as bad as the current one.

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?
