It Takes Two To Tango

Ladies and gentlemen, I know we all want that perfect companion. It is probably one of the only emotions everyone can truly relate to. We have grown up on the want of finding that someone who fits all of our seams and expectations. In the search of your picture-perfect man or woman, remember to search and grow in yourself. If you are not becoming the woman or man you want to become, you will not know what kind of companion to attract or devote your life to.

Women:

Often we find ourselves asking questions revolving around us. Am I pretty enough? Will I be successful in the future? Why can’t I find the man of my dreams? We look at another woman and think she has it all, the body, the hair, the perfect man, a great job, and etc. In reality, though, every woman struggles. Now your struggles may be different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relate in some form or fashion. As women, we should understand that NO woman is higher or lower than the other. Believe in yourself. I’m not saying you won’t have doubts, but overcome those doubts with faith and God. Establish yourself in a firm and strong foundation. Once you see your worth and value the options will begin to weed themselves out. Become a Woman of God and you will attract a man of God. That boy you longed for in the past will become a glimpse of what use to be. You’ll begin to understand why guys from previous relations never worked for YOU. Lastly, you’ll know what kind of morals and values the man you invest in will hold.

Men:

It is hard to stay spiritually, mentally and physically strong in today’s society. The temptations of the world are growing stronger and stronger. Instead of looking for beauty we long for seductiveness, we rather lust over someone than adore someone, and we rather play around with our hearts then invest in their seams. Men, please know that modesty, loyalty, and kindhearted woman do still exist. When beginning to know a woman look for “wife material,” characteristics. Does she hold herself to a high standard? Is she kind to everyone? Does she have a selfless heart? Lastly, in order to find the woman worthy of marriage, you must be worthy enough to her. In order to attract a woman of God, you must be a man of God, leading her in faith and in life at all times.

Men and women:

Remember when you are dating, in a relationship, or marriage, it takes equal effort. Some individuals say the person who cares the least holds the most control. Please don’t live your relationship or dating life through this perspective. Find someone who will cherish, care, invest, be loyal, honest, love, and selfless for YOU. Men and women deserve someone’s full heart. Relationships are not a 60/40 they are a 50/50. Have high standards and a pure heart.

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?
