She Is The Sun

"If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies how very different our idea of beauty would be."

She Is The Sun

She is fat.

She is ugly.

She is annoying.

She is a whore.

Wait,

You do not even know her.

That girl you just walked by,

Is more than just your thoughts.

She is a human,

And she is not here to meet your needs.

She is here to love

And to be loved.

Obviously not by you,

But by someone worthy of her presence.

She is rich,

So she is “stuck-up.”

She is gay,

So she is “abnormal.”

She is black,

So she is “ghetto.”

Wait,

have you even attempted talking to her?

That “rich girl,”

Has a beautiful soul.

That “gay girl,”

Is the most down to earth girl in the room.

That “black girl,”

Worked harder than you ever will.

Even though your opinions should not matter,

Your opinions still damage growing hearts.

She is depressed.

She is anxious.

She is bi-polar.

She is anorexic.

Do not be friends with her,

She is a walking time-bomb.

That “depressed girl,”

Lost her mother.

That “anxious girl,”

Is the definition of strength.

That “bi-polar girl,”

Was raped.

That “anorexic girl,”

Is trying to find a cure for cancer.

Who are you to define her?

That girl over there,

Would take a bullet for you any day.

That girl over there,

Would brighten up your smile.

That girl over there,

Would accept you for you.

Unlike you,

Who belittles the worth of a human.

Just because she does not intrigue you,

Does not mean she is not beautiful.

So who are you,

To shatter a young woman?

So who are you,

To determine her worth?

So who are you,

To corrupt her self confidence?

Does she have flaws?

Yes.

Does she have demons?

Yes.

Is she still a person?

Absolutely.

So, please take away your foul remarks.

For she is more than your eyes can perceive.

Did you ever wonder what was beneath her glasses?

Did you ever wonder what was beneath her tattoos?

Did you ever wonder what was beneath her skin?

No.

You took what you were handed,

And folded before you got the chance to play the game.

Only if you stopped for a second,

You would see the beauty that shinned behind her shadow.

So next time you walk passed her,

Remember,

She is not an item you can label.

For she is much more;

She is beautiful,

with every scar that makes up her body.

But more importantly,

She is the sun,

And you might of just caught her during a storm.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
