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.

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
