Dream Land

Finding Solace Within

I had a dream of blowing bubbles
big pink leathery bubbles
the kind where the gum sticks to your face
and only more gum can get it off

I had a dream of pirates and biker gangs
I was a victim of their violent ways
I tried fighting back but to little avail
and was stuck in the gut with a blade

I had a dream that I was late
so I took a taxi across town
there were obstacles and missed phone calls
and I showed up two hours late

I had a dream I was young again
I rode my bike down a quiet street
was headed straight for a rock, but then I took off
and flew high above the ground

Then I’d plummet to Earth
but right before crashing
I’d wake with a start
startled and shaking

My favorite dreams are the ones that I have
when I don’t know I’m dreaming
My favorite dreams are the ones that I have
when I wake up screaming or laughing

Terrified in dream land
Makes waking life seem sane
to die in your head is to be born again
and nothing is ever the same

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
