Internet Versus Real Life

I am treated amazing and I do not need social media to prove it.

Internet Versus Real Life
Makayla Davis

My boyfriend has never put me on his social media as his Woman Crush Wednesday. That is totally okay with me. That does not mean he loves me any less than other relationships who do have it on their social medias. I personally have my boyfriend all over mine. People believe it would bother me, but it doesn't. I know my boyfriend loves me. I maybe biased but we are the cutest couple ever. We jump through obstacles in our relationship with ease. He treats me with respect and always makes sure I am happy. Now why does it matter if it is on social media?

People do like to be shown off to the world. They love being a WCW or a MCM. They love all the cutesy comments on each others walls and photos saying how amazing each of them are, Nothing is wrong with that. I love seeing the love on social media myself. But I do not expect my own boyfriend to do it. Social media is every one's personal diary. How they choose to post is on them. I should not ever tell him that he should post something sweet about me. That is telling him I am insecure on how he feels about me and I care about what others think of our relationship.

If it is my birthday, my boyfriend is with me. He does not need to make a collage of pictures posted on instagram and a super long paragraph on how much he loves me. Instead, he is at dinner with me and is making my night special. I may not get the sweet notes on social media on how much he loves me, but he does tell me to my face all the time.

I know that when I see him, he will treat me better than anyone has ever treated me. If people hang around us then they see it. They will see I have the best man ever. I do not need confirmation through the internet that he loves me. I can tell by the way he treats me and looks at me everyday. I do not ever have to prove that to the world. I do not need confirmation that everyone sees that my boyfriend thinks I am cute. This is my relationship and I will never compare it to others. He still loves me more than anything without the internet to tell me.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
