Hey, you! Yeah, you. I will change the subject at risk of sounds like a cheesy infomercial. Have you ever been hanging out anywhere and realize that your body has magically developed a scratch, bruise, or mark? This random appearance is typically in the most unusual place. How does one feel and what does one think when they first notice these temporary imprints?

Well, I'll tell you…

1. How did my body create that?

2. Wow, I didn't know my body can turn that color.

3. I wonder how I got this mark?

4. Was it from the kid I babysit?

5. Was it stepping the wrong way on the sidewalk the other day?

6. I didn't know my body was capable of having such a big black and blue mark.

7. I haven't felt any pain in this area, so I have no idea how I got this.

8. Did someone attack me without me realizing for me to get such a big scratch?

9. I wonder if my scratch ever bled without me knowing or it always looked this way?

10. Will it scar?

11. I wonder when it will disappear?

12. I wonder when the scratch will vanish?

13. Will this skin cream help get rid of it?

14. Should I go to the doctor?

15. How is my skin so sensitive?

16. How is my body so prone to injury?

17. Will anyone else ask me about how I got this mark?

18. Should I think of some bad ass story to tell them about how I got it...?

19. ... or will they know that I'm totally lying about that epic story?

20. Does it look gross?

21. Can my makeup cover this up?

If you're an active human, or even if you aren't, you're bound to suddenly observe some unusual speck on your body. You may wonder how long the scratch or scar has been there without you realizing. Will this become a symbol with a story behind it, or will it quickly go away? Regardless, this happens to everyone at some point or another. Life has many mysteries, and miscellaneous scratches and/or bruises are some of them!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

"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.
