Countless beach days and summer books have me gazing out to that mysterious ocean so many of us love and wondering why it really would be better to live under the sea. Well, after some logical conclusions, I'm ready to trade in my legs.

1. Shell phones and magic conch shells

Communication just got 1000x more aesthetic.

2. Sea shell bras

3. Or better yet... no bras.

4. Constant mermaid hair

5. You could nap in the bathtub without drowning

6. No need for a summer bod because your curves actually keep you warm

This is just a simple marine mammal fact that I find heart-warming.

7. No legs = No shaving

Having scales never felt so good.

8. You'd be bffs with beluga whales

Look at the precious!

9. AND MANATEES

AKA God's most perfect creature

10. Fresh sushi's probably an everyday thing

The face of someone who knows the sushi is also free.

11. Travel is ridiculously easy

You can literally swim anywhere and you save thousands of dollars on plane tickets!

12. Showers under tropical waterfalls is nbd

13. You can explore the Titanic (and things that have yet to be discovered)

The amount of vintage items you'd find...

14. "Where'd you get that beautiful necklace?" "Oh, a sea witch once stole my voice but it's a souvenir now"

15. Everyone would be hypnotized by your voice

16. Men have to listen when you say no (because you can drown them, obvi)

17. But when you wanted them, it'd be easy.

Because you're a frickin' mermaid?? Who would say no??

18. Everyone would try and take candid photos of you

19. You get to do THIS

There would obviously always be spurts of water accentuating your flowing hair and a perfect rock that jutted out of the ocean for moments like these. Why? Because you're a mermaid.

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.
