An Ode To Merlot

You've got a friend in Merlot.

An Ode To Merlot
Bubbly Professor

I wake up on Sunday morning after a night of drinking far to much of you,

But that can't keep me away from your decedent taste,

I go about my day, thinking about you,

What shall I have for dinner that will finely compliment you?


Throughout the day I pray that I will be home soon,

So I can sit on my couch, watch Netflix, and drink Merlot,

There is no one else besides you,

I've cheated before on the occasional rosé,

But on a college budget, well you know, sometimes I cant help it,

Why must you be so amazing, dear Merlot?


Oh how I dread a night where I don’t have a glass,

Poured to the brim,

And when I don’t sit there and binge watch OITNB,

Its hard to have my day feel complete.


Your taste always wants me longing for more,

But in this day-and-age it's frowned upon if you drink a full bottle at once,

I know you would never judge me but it's not you, it's me,

I've done it once and I just cant do it again.


But without further a'do, my ode to you could be endless,

I'll do my best to stay faithful,

You are my one and only, dear friend,

I will see you again tomorrow after 5 p.m.,

Because, once again, it's most definitely frowned upon to bring merlot to the office.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
