What Life Should Be
TruthTheory

The question that is asked by most, if not all, people is “what should I being doing with my life?” Well, quite frankly, there is no true answer. Life is what you make it by making choices to do or don’t do things. I believe life should be adventurous, be filled with laughter and love, and simply, be happy.

Life should be adventurous. No one just wants to sit around all day long, doing nothing and being bored out of their minds. At least, most people wouldn’t want that. Sometimes money is tight, that feeling is known widely. There are plenty of places to go that can get you out of your normal settings. Such as going on a picnic in the park with friends or family, going to a zoo to look at all the different types of exotic animals, and even going swimming in a lake or a swimming pool, of your choice. These options are limitless. Explore, it definitely makes life worthwhile, and getting to spend it with people you love just makes it so much more worth it.

Laughter and love should always be a part of life. All types of stories bring up memories that were, and still are, filled with love and laughter. It could be remembering all the good times with those who have passed away, or just silly stories from any time at all. Laughing and having good times makes more memories that can be told for many, many years. Spending time with loved ones makes memories that can be shared over and over again. Just think, life could be so different if certain people weren’t in your life.

Simply, life should be happy. You shouldn’t have to make your life miserable to suit someone else. Happiness comes in different ways, but finding what makes you truly happy is the most important thing. Do things that make you happy, whether others approve of it or not. It is your own life, live it to the fullest.

Life should be filled with laughter, love, adventures and happiness. Having people to share it with makes it worthwhile.

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.
