I don’t like the world I’ve created on my phone

On my small screen of life

My world

My sight

My eyes ears feelings and soul

I hate it

I despise it


The world is so huge

Yet feels so small in my palms

Contorts my brain

Makes me feel some sort of unhealthy way

Give me the illusion that I should conquer it all

Until I realize in life you can fall


But the world so large

Extravagant and beautiful

Made

And created

For human

Not technological pollution


Made for us to play and run

Experience and grow

Feel the earth

See the sky

Sun & Snow


At this rate no one will be happy

Empty shells

Due for a cracking


The world is too big and amazing for us to let it go by

Yet we let this world shrink

And we say our final goodbyes


Take away its colors, its life

And shove it all into a putrid device


That crushes emotions

With digital ties

Makes this life of ours seem more like a game every time


Try to level up

And get the most likes

Do the most things, in the smallest amount of time

Find the best love

Find the best car

Find the best house

With the biggest of untouched yards


Have your best life

All locked in a screen

Till it's taken away

A flaw in the machine


Not until you walk outside

Will you realize you're no longer 35


Till death do we part

The screen ripped my life apart.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.

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.
