To The Person Who Is Mine

It's not just because of you that I am happy, but you make the ride so much better.

To The Person Who Is Mine
Madeline Polino

I'm laying here next to you thinking about who you are. You're funny, you make me smile and so many other things. Above all, you look at me differently. I don't need to think, I just can feel.

I look at you now and although you're not even touching me, I can still feel that feeling. The one that allows me to smile when your presence is near and I am able to just feel safe. I can just simply look at you and smile.

You're playing a game and getting extremely frustrated about it. You keep screaming, "Babe, babe, help me!" It's actually kind of funny because you're always talking out loud to yourself, but it also reminds you that I'm still there and am always going to be.

I'm so excited for all the memories we're going to make. The laughs, the happy moments and all the fun we're going to have. Even though your sarcasm often makes me angry, I can't imagine you without it.

All of the little moments make me smile. We are constantly doing something, whether it be playing the sport we love, going to the movies, going to a professional game, or something. I love all of them equally because I get to spend time with you.

But, then, there are also the even smaller things. The things that barely matter, but mean so much. The conversations we have, the way we laugh when we're together and the type of charm you have that fills the room.

We could sit in the same room and not say a word for a long time and I would be okay with that. Because in my mind, I am still in your presence and you are still in mine, and in my heart, I know that's what matters most.

You're one of my motivators, always making sure I get everything done and always supporting me with whatever I want to do. You do that because you care. Just like my family and my friends do. And that's something I will always thank you for.

I could lay here all night and just be content. Watching you play your game and listening to you talk out loud to yourself and to me. Not only because I am near you, but because I am happy. Because there's that feeling you give me that makes me feel happy, but then again that same feeling where I know I'm in a good spot for myself. But that's also because, along with my family and friends, you helped me get here.

You're pestering me now to tell you what this is about. Sorry, but you need to read it to find out because I won't tell you. You mean the world to me and no matter where we are, how far apart we are and even how close we are, there's nothing anyone could do to change that.

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?
