Dreams: A Memoir From 6th Grade.

I come from my most deep and painful sorrow,

I hope that we will speak again tomorrow.

I would love to be forever friends,

But I hope and I pray, this relationship will not come to a painful end.

When the yellow bright sun sets, and the moon travels up,

You will appear in my deep dreams for the best of luck.

When I look into those eyes, those gray stone eyes,

It is like a powerful wave of the blue ocean and the salty sea,

And I feel the overwhelming sensation of someone watching over me.

You are filled with concrete and despair,

But you my dear, cannot care.

For I am close, here,

I am near.

When you hear my echoing call,

You cannot just simply fall into that whole of nothing.

You made my body shiver, shake in pain,

Then all of my blood was pushed into the top of my brain.

For it was over, there was nothing to say anymore-

So I closed shut the heaviest of a door.

I am standing here, right in front of you, can you not see?

I am not the good that is living inside of me.

I love you, please do not let your brain ever forget-

Can I ever prevent what is coming next?

I am not here, the presence is not me, can’t you see?

Then where are you?

I am in the green valley, the valley we walked miles to, with the earth in our hands-

And you will soon see me one day again in these wide lands,

So I cry softly, painfully by your grave stone,

And I speak in the softest of a tone-

You were the heaven for me, way, way above-

And all I ever wanted to do was simply shower you with my love.

Goodbye my dear,

Wipe your tears and your eyes clear,

I am no longer here.

So I sit,

I sit alongside the pier right here,

Hoping one day you will reappear.


Love always,

Mel.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
