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

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
