Dove

Always stretching

Always growing

Shifting and twisting away

Always changing

Never staying the same

The dawn of spring comes

Like a new baby dove

Helpless and fragile she lays

While the trees turn green

And the sun shines his beam

Life comes to bloom in May

May turns to June, and June turns to fall

And often quite soon old winter calls

Bringing death and despair

Yet hope for next year

For spring will once more

Be in the air

But is it always that clear?

Spring will not come on one faithful year

And life as we know it will all disappear.

Haze

Synthetic haze plagues the ground

Suffocating every tree around

The birds will lose their heads

While resting in their plastic beds

The sky is black in day

The oceans are so gray

People won't be phased...

For their precious haze is here to stay

Traffic comes and goes

Yet the haze always shows

Oxygens no more

Pollution has run its course


The Geese

It's the geese

It's the geese

Call the police

They've been fighting and squacking all day

It's the geese

It's the geese

When will they cease

Eating the grass away

Feathers and fluff

Float in the dust

As they infest the waters and bay

They will eat the land dry

And then they will fly

To a new place with new grass

New ponds filled with bass

A place the geese will turn to trash

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
