These Are The Nights I'll Remember

These Are The Nights I'll Remember

We have laughed, cried, screamed, and lost our minds sitting around the living room TV. The times that seem so insignificant are the ones that make the biggest impact in my life. I walk through the door and my heart is flooded with joy because I simply love these people so much.

There are plenty of Instagram posts of friends dressed up and hitting the town. There were nights we spent out until two am and crawled into bed laughing at how ridiculous we were. All these nights, I will remember. We look back and laugh, but they don't stick like you might think. It's the simple nights that mean the most.

This is an ode to my friends. This is an ode to my second family. They are there when I am at my best and cheering me on while I soar. They are there when I feel like I can not continue and will break apart. It is every second dinner we share and the jokes we've made that I will not forget and I am sure I will miss so much.

Years from now, it will be the cheap Mexican food and Netflix with all of you that I will miss most. The nights out will pale in comparison to the simplicity of your unconditional friendship. There is nothing else like it. I hope we always laugh too loud and sing without a care. I hope we always stay up too late and drink too much coffee the next day. I hope you know how deeply I love you all.

Thank you for being you.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
