She & I: A Poem

A poem about falling in and out of love.

She & I: A Poem

It's getting so dark I can barely see

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Sweet little nothings whispered to me

They don't hold any validity

Had me feeling so insecure

The heavy heart is an absent cure

It's become so hollow this part of me

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be


What's today if you've slipped away

The heart of hearts is broken apart

Tomorrows just a shame if you're away

You'd rather see me fallen apart


Woman DrowningChristopher Campbell


Sometimes I wish to cut myself on glass

Maybe then you'll finally pass

In my reach is something wonderful

But I'm afraid to be the fool

Tangled up in blue, what can I do

I believe I can fall in love with you

Easy mistakes are the ones that come true

Maybe you feel the same way too


What's time if you aren't mine

It felt so fake, even from the start

I have you now, but it feels like borrowed time

Cast your burden right from the start


Man DrowningCarlos Domínguez

It's getting so dark this little light of mine

Maybe she snuffed it out, made me blind

Temptation hides between her thighs

And in her eyes a thousand other lies

These violent delights have violent ends

Foolishly I believed we made amends

Reluctantly letting the right one in

Maybe we're not meant to win


What's yesterday, but a day too far away

Each goodbye seems to be the last

Each minute here is another minute away

When can I love you at last?

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
