Good Morning, Terra Mater.

Inspired by our beautiful Mother Earth.

Good Morning, Terra Mater.
Chayanne Lawrence

The sun rises at 7:02 AM.

My eyes scanned the dark room around me while I listened to the constant buzz of my ceiling fan.

The light between my blinds faded from a mute dark blue,

to a loud bright baby blue.

The in-between time is what was breathtaking.

Some one, somehow managed to use a gradient overlay on the sky.

Times like these make me wonder why we chose the time schedule that we did.

Why we sleep through one of the most beautiful moments of the day.

Night is one of the most intriguing parts of life.

To be asleep during such an enlightening time, when everything is so clear, is wasteful.

Beauty is missed.

Time escapes us.

The birds, I want to know how the birds feel.

To be awake when dawns light does not permit its beauty to be missed.

When she is too bright to be ignored.

I watched the sun awaken this morning.

I think I fell in love with life all over again; or rather, for the first time.

When the sun went down thoughts of endings and conclusions clutter the vacant space in my head.

Tonight, I powered through.

I found a peace within the night,

which most people fall asleep before finding.

Today I lingered past sister luna.

I witnessed the birth of another day.

I watched as young ad lucem danced through my window and across the walls of my room.

Watching the sky fade from a cool purple-y blue to warm yellow orange, I was inspired to take on every day like my own reincarnation.

Just like our Terra Mater.

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?
