People come in and out of my life on daily basis, but there is a special handful of those who never left. My younger brother is easily one of my best friends; while not everyone knows him, he is someone to never be overlooked or forgotten. Honestly, and with every type of “cheese” intended, my life changed on September 25th, 2000: the day Timmy was born.

While I can’t recall the details of that day nor every single memory we’ve had since then, my parents can tell you and the pictures will show you, we’ve been buddies since day one. There were definitely countless times we annoyed each other to the point when mom needed to break us up and cool off; it’s just what happens when you have siblings. And honestly, thank God it does, because without my little booger of a brother, I wouldn’t have accumulated the levels of patience that I have now. Most likely, he feels the same way about me. The best thing about having a brother, is I have an automatic best friend forever; literally. He’s been in my life for as long as he’s been alive. I’m part of his forever. And we’ve had some really good times.

Timmy is an extremely special person who doesn’t cease to amaze me. From the time he could, he’s been tapping and banging drums everyday. He’s celebrated so many amazing achievements like being honored the top high school jazz drummer in the state, performing with multiple bands and ensembles, participating in Thom Hannum’s UMass Drum Corps camp three summers in a row, and all while working hard in school, playing football then sitting on a drum kit during halftime, and learning how to be a great human being.

He also is quite the comedian and impressionist. He can often be heard reenacting scenes from the hit Disney movie Lilo & Stitch, as well as the great Patrick Warburton a.k.a Kronk.

Timmy can be found practicing song after song on his beautiful basement kit or drum pad, generously funded by Moi :)

He is also an avid gamer with a tendency to get “angy.”

He loves pasta and the Wendy’s Bacon-ator, extra bacon.

Bro, does actually lift.

He drives the stick Subaru better than I do.

Timmy loves lamp and just ate a big red candle.

More importantly, Timmy is my amazing big, little brother.

I love you so much Doofenshmirtz/Poop-head.

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?
