To My Morning Coffee

I'd be lost without you

Dear My Morning Coffee,

You are without a doubt an irreplaceable figure in my life. Every single day you are there for me to keep me focused, and you push me to be more patient and understanding towards others. In the winter time you warm me up when I am chilly and on hot summer days you cool me down when I am too warm. I enjoy every minute I have with you.

I know you face a lot of criticism. Some people say they aren't your type at all, but I hope these people have at least given you a chance. Others discriminate against your size saying you're too small or too large. To me, the harshest words come from those who judge you for what is on the inside. People love to complain that you are too bitter, but after a little TLC you are as sweet as sugar.

If you don't believe me, ask the people around me how I act once you are gone. I'll admit that sometimes right after you disappear I think I am okay and that I can get through the day. But, a few hours without you and I grow cranky and tired. I long for you to be sitting at my desk with me reminding me I can get through the day.

I know I don't say this enough, so thank you. Whether your comforting smell covers the kitchen as you are downstairs waiting for me, or I have drive to pick you up on my way out, you are always happily waiting and inviting. You never hesitate to give me the support I need to get through each and every day. I truly don't know how I would have it made it through these past few years without you.

With All of My Love,

Emma Looby

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?
