To Me, This Is What Love Is:

It is not just a word.

To Me, This Is What Love Is:

Everyone in the world hears about this word. However, there are so many meanings behind it. It can be difficult to describe, and it can be filled with mixed emotions. I want to be able to describe in my own words, thoughts and feelings about what this word means to me. And that special word, is called love.

Love is not just a word, it is an action. People to this day throw the word "love" around like it's a baseball. Someone can say that they love you, but will treat you like a punching bag in the next second. You can't just say it and show poor choices of action. That's how people get confused with love. It's easy to say words, but it's very important to treat that person right. Do you care for that person? Do you show affection? Do you try your best to put a smile on their face? If it's none of these, then this isn't love.

Love doesn't hurt. It shouldn't be filled with constant sadness. Love is suppose to be a powerful/magical feeling you get whenever you see someone. It should make you feel like you're on top of the world and that you're appreciated. There are also people who are just not worth your tears. However, love doesn't involve pain, it involves happiness.

Love takes patience. There are many people who are in love with the idea of love. People will try to force it to happen and in my opinion, it shouldn't work that way. I believe that God has a plan for everyone and He is busy writing everybody's love story. When it comes to relationships, it will happen when the time is right.

Love isn't just about relationships, but with family members and friendships too. Love develops in many shapes or forms. Love should involve with family and friends that you love being around with. Love makes the world a better place and it conquers all evil.

It's important to talk about the word "love" because it needs to be cherished more. It is the opposite of hate and no one should learn to hate. Love should be the most beautiful thing there is to offer in life. Yes, it is defined in many different ways but no matter how someone defines it, it should take your breath away.

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.
