A Dreamer's Art

Hey readers! I wanted to place a visual into the minds of those who consider themselves "dreamers." Reality is pretty chaotic right now, but I hope this personification piece gives you some healthy inspiration for working toward your goals. No matter what anyone tells you, the mind is a powerful way to make true art out of our dreams from yesterday. May you shine and thrive in achieving your aspirations. Much love to you all!



Into my mind,

I see art

I know that mine

Can be told apart

Because the night itself

Is like the portal to dreams

Those so full they

Burst at the seams

In a good way, no doubt

However, some don't know

Quite what I mean

That is to say, in my mind

I believe in possibility

I can tell you

No lie, it gets hard

The night can be cold

When I give myself reason

To believe that dreaming is wrong

That's why I stay keeping this

In my head: be strong

Easy? It won't be

Silly? Well, maybe

But if I walked away from

What I wanted to do,

Wouldn't that make me

An even bigger fool, too?

Into my mind,

I see stars

Many upon many

I can't tell them apart

Deep down in my heart

I am aware that my nights

Fair best when I dream

And dream vaster than

Any art gallery

To anyone like me,

It's ok to believe in dreams

You want to know why?

Aside from my take on it,

Dreamers' souls dance

Like embers from a hot coal

They are ignited

Like the fire from wood, newly lightened

A dreamer's mind is

Like a Milky Way, but

How beautiful and unique

It is to know that you can take

This wonder anywhere you want to go?

There will be those who voice that

Dreams are meaningless

Don't harp on their words too much

For inside of you is the strength

And determination you seek

Because a dreamer's heart is

Like the sparkling aura no one can keep

Into my mind,

I see art

May I stay in the clouds this time

For this is only the very start

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
