Being Single, As Told By "She's the Man"

As a college student about to end my sophomore year, it is safe to say I have seen it all when it comes to hook ups, break ups, relationships, and just awkward college romantic/platonic chemistry. There's very few people in college, high school even, who know what they want out of a partner or a relationship, and who can blame them since it's such a busy time in life. I, a single gal, have seen people act like both 1's and 10's when it comes to emotions. I have also partaken in both some cringey and successful flirting. But there's only one film that can truly describe what it's like to be single at this age.

Here's what I have learned while being single in high school and college, according to "She's the Man":

1. Looking in the mirror to remind yourself that you are extremely datable and anyone would be lucky to have you:

2. Your friends make fun of you when your crush walks by, and you're all like:

3. But then you're all like:

4. Trying to act casual in any conversation with a crush:

5. But actually failing:

6. When your friends don't play it cool for you:

7. When you see your crush in the dining hall:

8. When someone asks you what you're gonna do about your crush:

9. When feelings pop up out of nowhere:

10. And then of course there are the unemotional-emotional feelings:

11. After talking to your crush in-person for thirty seconds:

12. When things aren't going well and you flag down a friend to save you:

13. Reflecting on your so-called "game" to your roommates:

14. But deep down, you know that you could can rock both the single life and a relationship:

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.
