To My Angel In Heaven

I wish I could look you in the eyes and tell you how much you truly mean to me, how much I need you in my life, how big of an impact you've had on me.

To My Angel In Heaven

Where do I begin? I feel as though there aren't enough words I can write to truly express all of the emotions that consume me knowing that you are gone. There are so many words I wish I could say to you, so many calls I wish I could make, so many moments I look at, wondering if you are somewhere off in a distant place watching me with pride.

How you left this world was too abrupt. I wasn't given the proper time to tell you everything I wanted to say. I wish I could look you in the eyes and tell you how much you truly mean to me, how much I need you in my life, how big of an impact you've had on me. I look back at our time spent together, knowing that I could have done more to be better—to do better, to be better to you and for you.

There are so many conversations I want to take back—how I wish I could rewind time.

I wonder so often if you are angry at me. I wonder so often if you are at peace. I wonder so often if you are looking down on me, missing me, cheering me on, loving me from afar.

There are countless times a day when I see your face. There are moments where I feel your energy invade my world. When the sun is shining down on my face, and the warm hugs my body like an embrace, I often wonder if that is you—saying hello. When I drive with the windows down, the cold air tickles my cheek, sending chills down my spine, I wonder if that is you—checking in. When the spring flowers begin to bloom, and the air smells like crisp cut grass, and the birds are chirping loudly, I wonder if this is you—saying you care.

I look back at life with regret sometimes, knowing I could have changed so many things if only I had paid more attention to what truly mattered. But, I know that it would not make me who I am today if I had changed my past. I understand that the trials we had gone through were there for a reason, and while I regret many things that have slipped away, I know inside that you loved me all the same.

There is never a day that goes by that I don't wish you were here. There are moments I know you would cherish, enjoy, thrive through, and love. There are memories I wish you were here to be a part of.

While you are no longer here, living with me, I know wherever you are, you're shining bright laughing and smiling for me.
My angel in heaven, wherever you may be, please know that you are missed.

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?
