Here's to loving you

When I look at you I see the rest of my life before my eyes

Here's to loving you

Falling in love is great, it might be the most magical thing I've ever experienced.

It was easy for me, looking at you knowing I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. The hard part was opening up to you and allowing you to see me vulnerable and screwed up. You had to see my meltdowns, my anxiety attacks, and my nights that I spend wide awake crying all night. It was hard for me to open up and let you in, because granted I didn't know you. I had known you for a solid ten seconds and I already had our wedding planned and our future children named. Ten seconds was all it took to imagine a giant wedding and the perfect wedding dress and me walking down to isle to take your last name and vow to love you for the rest of my life. You said "Hey" when I walked up to you in the Chipotle parking lot, like you had never seen someone like me before. Like you were planning the same wedding in your head and naming those same children that I had named ten seconds ago.

You have these beautiful brown eyes, and this stupidly stunning smile and I have never fallen so hard so fast. But when I had fallen for you so quickly it was like I metaphorically jumped off of the empire state building to my death because I didn't know what was at the bottom. I didn't know that we would have dates every weekend and live together. And I never knew that I loved skiing, puzzle building or documentaries till I was with you. I never pictured myself living 12 hours away from my family until I met you, and when I met you I had to have you. I never thought I would be able to love like this. I never thought I would love at all. I never thought that I would meet someone like you, but with you everything was different. With you everything came so easy.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

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.
