I want to feel you.

I want to trace the rising and falling of your chest
As your blood pumps in correlation with the rhythm of your favorite song.

I want to...

I want to press my ear against the motor that drives and
Motivates your greatness.
Tell me the reasons why you stand,
Even when you're at your weakest.

I want to kiss and taste the bliss inside your eyes
The moment the horizon line is set on fire.

I want to...

I want to make love to your tall standing confidence
That causes ripples in the liquid universe.
That rewrites the narrative on the page because you wanted it to change.
That can do any and all things through a matter of your mindset.

I want to make love to your strong-willed mind
Not to taint it,
Nor make it weak,
But to share the powerful breeze and help you move oceans.

I want to caress the warmth of your light.
I swear it feels the same as mine.
I want to feel your kindred touch.
To fulfill our purpose.
To intertwine.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
