Life is difficult, and how we transition in our lives is going to be completely different from the next, and that is where this poem comes from. It comes from a rich inner world that lays inside my mind, in an alternate reality, where I can find some sense, and ultimately reach peace, and find myself completely.



Dressed from head to toe in my favorite attire,

a color of beige and other neutrals,

cling to my body,

as I walk down these clear halls with millions of doors.

With each door I pass a sound emerges,

a sound of different places that attempt to lure me,

that wish for me to enter that world instead of the others,

and while I wish to go to each one,

in my heart of hearts,

I know it is not where I need to be.


Down the hall,

closer to the staircase that leads to the museum,

there is a door that is designed with the galaxy in mind,

and it is there where I am needed during this time,

and I embrace it warmly.

Opening the door

I find myself entering without any sign of hesitation,

as I leave the clear hallway with millions of doors behind,

only to be greeted by meteorite made lake,

with the rest of the world swirling around slowly,

dancing to the rhythm of of the atmospheric melody.


Just one step and I find myself entering the lake,

no sign of hesitation,

and no sign of fear,

I gracefully let the warm water of the lake take over,

and envelope me in its warm embrace.

As I float in the lake,

surrounded by a cave-like walls,

the planets continue to dance,

continue to finding their pace,

until they find the alignment that is right for me to see.

And it is here where I am healing,

in a meteorite lake,

surrounded by the dazingly planets,

in the deep depths of my soul and mind.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
