Let it all just fade away

Songs On Odyssey: Burn Baby Burn

Here's a song for all those who need to leave behind something that is so unworthy of our stress and our worries and our emotions. Leave behind those negativities because once you empty your pockets of those rocks, you're ready to spread your damn wings and fly!


Burn Baby Burn

I'm waiting for somethin' excitin', yeah I can tell it's gonna be good. You know the sun is electrifying, made my heart beat flames all through the blood. Yeah, the scent of happiness is consuming senses, all desires. But the moon is out, and my song is on, and the flames are burning—they're burning strong. I'm a walking hazard, a heat of a blizzard, take one step forward, and fall into the fire.

Chorus: Burn baby burn. Go on and melt away—every thought I let devour me, every word you didn't say. Burn baby burn burn burn, I feel it now, the rush of the wind, on the flames that never will give in—see the passion in my eyes, at every turn. Somethin' exicitin' is happenin' now, and I'm not afraid to let you burn. Burn, burn, baby, burn.

Tear up the confetti till it's ready to be, just a pile of things you used. Tear up all the days that you promised the sun, because I found it now, without you. Tear up all the nights I spent watering thoughts, on my face, on my arms, on the sheets, on my scars, just waiting for me, waiting for you. Yeah burn it all, burn everything.

Chorus

Licking the ashes off crystal balls that never knew the future. I like asking them how they think of us now, and why they couldn't tell me sooner. I'll remember long ago what they said, how they believed in us the way we believed them. I'm ready to let go, I'm ready to say no, I'm moving on. This is my closure.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
