I Went To A Drag Show And Loved It

I loved the queens!

I Went To A Drag Show And Loved It
Carri McKillip

Last Friday my mom celebrated her 47th birthday. She decided that she wanted to make a weekend out of it. On the night of her birthday, she decided that she wanted to go to Hamburger Mary's a gay bar in Westport. Very interest with this thought I decided to tag along with my friend Cassie to see what all of the commotion was about.

We arrived at the bar around eight-thirty to check-in for our reservations at nine. We were told to get there early to assure that we would keep our reservations and honestly it was well worth the wait. We were waiting while the bar was having their bingo night going on and we got to watch as they gave away a lot of cool prizes and had a lot of fun.

At nine we were taken to our tables in the very front row which was perfect for us. As soon as we sat down the server came over and took our drink orders. Being under 21 I was trying to look for a drink that I could order without alcohol because it's something I usually do at restaurants and bars. However, I couldn't do that because all of the drinks main components were made from the liquor flavoring so it couldn't happen.

The show started off with the hostess coming out and introducing herself to the crowd and joked with the crowd. Since we were sitting in the front row my friend was immediately pointed out and told he was in for a treat. The queen continued to joke around with him making the entire place laugh.

The rest of the show was phenomenal. The ladies would walk around and interact with the crowd, they messed with everyone and we all had a great time. I would tell you a whole lot more, but you'll just have to take a trip to Hamburger Mary's and visit the "Rachet Housewives of Westport".

I had no idea what to expect would happen would I walked through that door. There was never one second where I felt excluded or that I wasn't having fun. The people we so kind and funny and it made the overall atmosphere a fun place to be. I cannot wait to go back when I turn 21 and have a drink.

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?
