The Days After Graduation

As we go our separate ways, you will always share a special place in my heart.

The Days After Graduation

And just like that, the best four years of my life have come to an end. Another chapter in my life has ended, while another is starting. This city will hold a special place in my heart. It's a place where I met some of many close friends, and a city where I have created many memories that I will cherish forever. I feel like it was yesterday we were freshmen in a brand new city all on our own. Its amazing to look back the past four years and see how much we have matured. The people we have met, the friends who started with you and ended with you and the friends that left.

We probably all have complained about about being here. Constantly questioning why we chose this school. But thats what made our college experience great. The good memories, and of course the bad ones, the ones we wish we will forget, yet we still laugh at them.

We owe our school a lot. It was the school that brought us together. It was the place that made us realize what we were meant to do. It is the place that taught us many valuable life lessons, the good and bad.It was a place where we had nights that we wanted to quit everything, yet the place that told us not too. It's the place that taught us that we can call two places home.

We've made it to the finish line, congratulations!. Now we are faced with saying goodbye. Saying goodbye to the friends who have been with you through the ups and downs. Whether you're leaving or them, seeing them everyday, crashing at their dorm room, the walks to residential dining, and endless coffee runs are now a memory. They are the ones you shared the bottle of wine with. Just remember, the real friends will keep in touch, so there's nothing to be worried about.

I wish you all the best as we go our separate ways. I wish I can press pause and stay with you guys forever, creating more memories. But we must start making our dreams a reality.

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Words can't thank you enough for everything you have done. You have all grown up to be such amazing people and I was lucky enough to see it first hand. Although you're leaving, and I am staying, I know you're always a phone call away, I know I have all the pictures, and the memories close to my heart. As I cry, know they are tears of happiness, because I am so lucky to have met you. I am lucky to call you my friend. You're a permanent addition to my life.

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?
