How I'll Be A Best Seller Like Stephen King
dreadcentral.com

Everyone knows Stephen King, either for his horror stories or the terrifying movies that come from his horrifying creations. There are so many reasons why I aspire to be like Stephen King, though maybe not for the reasons that you think. I mean, sure it would be great to make all the money that he does and only need to write books to make a living, that would be amazing. But I really want to write horror like he does. I want to create worlds of fear that keeps readers up all night. It will probably keep me up as well writing it but it's a worthy sacrifice.

I also want to be known for all the weird things that I write about and why I write the way I do that most people don't know. There are several things that people don't know about Stephen King, like the fact that he's afraid of the number 13. Which is a little strange because of the fact that he writes horror but hey, I'm not judging. I also want to use things that people see every day and make it terrifying so they don't look at it the same way again. Take Ronald McDonald for instance. Everyone knows who he is, but did you know that he was the inspiration for Pennywise the clown in Stephen King's IT? Yeah, you'll never look at a Happy Meal the same way again.

The only thing I would never want to do is forget about writing books. Yes. Stephen King doesn't actually remember writing some of his books. It's due to all the drugs he was on back in the day. But thankfully he's sober and is able to write and remember everything that he writes about. I'll write like Stephen King skip the part when he was on drugs and hopefully be a best seller in no time. At least that's how I hope it happens.

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.
