This is an open letter to my sister.

I haven’t met you yet and I am not sure if I ever will. I know I did not have anything to do with you being given up for adoption. I don’t know you, but I want to get to know you. It sucks that we didn’t get to witness each other personally grow up. The fact that I have to watch you grow and mature through social media sucks. I just want you to know I love you and I do mean that. I haven’t seen you and I don’t know a lot about you other than the fact that you are my sister and you live in New Jersey. I see how beautiful you are and I wish I could just hug you and protect you from everything.

When I see your pictures I see how much you and I look alike. I see mom in you. I’m sorry she did not keep you. You deserve to be with your real (blood) family. You should know if you ever meet your blood family you should now some of our aunts and uncles fought to keep you. They did not want you to be given up for adoption. Some of our family wanted you to be around your stay with your relatives. Our parents had other plans, because of those plans you don’t know me or our amazing family. Now, understand this, our family has bigger problems within itself, but I don’t doubt that you would have felt loved.

Our parents aren’t together and they haven’t been in awhile and they probably wont ever be together. I do think they regret giving you up, but I can't and won't speak for them. I wish they never did, but you are there and I am here. We have different lives, have our own struggles, but I promise you this I am your big brother and I love you. I want you to know I miss you and I hope to one day meet you and be a part of your life. You deserve the best life has to offer. I pray that God will see that I am included in that.

Your big brother,

Desmond Vera

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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?
