Sour Cherry, Sweet Sensation

What's in your milkshake?

I felt the need to talk about myself for my first post in order to give you a feel of who is writing, Also, do forgive me if this is a bit childish but I cannot help it, my mind is still that of a child's.

Have you ever thought of your life as a food or object? I have probably thought about this more than I should've. In my case, if a food represented my life, it would most definitely have to be a milkshake. Surely a milkshake isn't the most healthiest of desserts in the world, but it is most certainly one of the best.

Now, just try and keep up with me as I explained my odd reasoning as to why a milkshake represents my life.

When I think of a milkshake, I imagine a tall, crystal glass giving you a clear view of the ingredients inside of it that makes up this mountain of deliciousness. The tall glass would have to represent my family as they are the ones that shaped me the way that I am today. And just like a tall crystal glass, I don't hide what is on the inside, I like to show others who I am and where I come from.

The flavor of my milkshake would have to be peanut butter with some decorative strawberry syrup because it's similar to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I feel like it represents my character. Some people love it and some people don't, while others are allergic to peanuts and a few are simply just not quite ready for this jelly.

The amount of whipped cream at the top of my milkshake would have to be equal to the amount of times I spend with my head in the clouds. If there is something that I do a lot is think of situations that I may encounter in life or I'll try to foresee the result of an upcoming event. I must confess that many times I think of situations that will most likely not happen, but I can't help it. As a result, the amount of whipped cream that is on my milkshake most definitely exceeds the suggested serving.

My friends would be the sprinkles on the whipped cream due to the fact that I always like to surround myself with them. I am a very social person and love making new friends. They add that extra flavor to my life that enables me to feel laugh and have a great time wherever I go. Every new friend I make shall be a new sprinkle to my milkshake and a new person to share my life experiences with.

Lastly, above all of what is milkshake is the delicious and sour cherry. It does not represent my sexuality but how I dealt with it in my life. The sourness represents the times in which I had to bite my tongue in order to avoid revealing what once was my biggest secret. The sweetness in the end was what made it all worth it. The beauty of the cherry is that it is exposed and it is the highlight of the whole milkshake. It isn't something that you can easily dismiss or remove from my life's milkshake because you won't be able to enjoy it as you should and you won't be able to get a sense of who I truly am. In case you are wondering, my milkshake does in fact bring all the boys to the yard. Sorry, I had to.

With that said, what's in your milkshake?

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.

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?
