Doesn’t Know Me: A Poem About Jealousy

I saw Ramona this morning. We started talking for a bit. David interrupted us and stole her away. I think I hate David, but he doesn't know me.

Ramona and I were walking home after school.

Here comes cool guy David ruining the mood.

I swear I hate David, but he doesn't know me.

I saw David talking to Ramona by her locker today. What the hell was I supposed to do, what was I supposed to say. To hell with David, even if he doesn't know me.

They were laughing together. Looked like they were having a good time. That son of a bitch. I know his aim now, who cares if he doesn't know me.

We celebrated our 1 year today. She said she loves only me. That day I forgot about David. I'm sure he wasn't thinking about me. Why would he. Besides, he doesn't know me.

David congratulated us on our anniversary.

Told us we were a cute couple. I don't get it, is he really happy for us? Could he be? For Christ sakes, he doesn't even know me.

They're hanging out today. Ramona and David

The feelings still there. Why won't it let me be.

I should hate David, but I really don't know him, just like he doesn't know me

David doesn't know me, he knows Ramona.

I saw them hug each other goodbye before her date with me. Why do I hate David? I don't know him, and he doesn't know me.

They went out together. I told her to have fun.

It came back like always, the feeling of unease. He doesn't know me, that's always been clear to see. I'm too busy blaming David, when I didn't even know the problem's been me.

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.

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.
