Thank you for your business.

Sincerely, Your Friendly Neighborhood Towers

Dear drivers,

I drag another car as its wheels slowly turning behind me. You should know, this is not a pleasurable thing for me either. I don’t get any pleasure towing your cars. I simply get a monetary reward—from you—and that is what I get pleasure from. OK, so yes, it brings me joy taking your cars. Still I do hope you don’t take it personally but judging from the way you storm into my office in the morning, I know you did. I give you the facts of the situation. Your ass parked somewhere you weren’t supposed to, I found your car, I took it and now you have to pay $110 dollars to get your car back. Unless you wait to pick it up another day. Then I’ll probably charge you more to get it back. Again, don’t take this personally, it's just that my space is extremely valuable. I need all the space I have to get more suckers like you each night. It really is not my fault you still can’t seem to figure out where you can park. Maybe you thought you would be back to your car before I got to it, but the possibility that I would get to it before you must have crossed your mind at some point.

I rely on your carelessness to earn a living. I need you to mess up in order to provide for myself. On slower nights I am not going to lie, I get tempted to tow a car that may or may not have been in the wrong spot. Yes, I know you will argue with me but if there’s no proof…that’s fair game. But don’t be mad at me—I am only doing my job. If you really want to blame someone, blame the system! Don’t come yelling at me in the morning. Maybe look up some road rules and figure out where you’re allowed to park.

I am aware that most people hate me and that nobody wants to be towed but all I have to say to you is get your life together. But also thank you for not having your life together, really gives me something to do.

Sincerely,

Your Friendly Neighborhood Towers

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.

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?
