Poetry On Odyssey: To The Guy Who Left Me On Read

Photo by Annika Tomlin

Hey, how are you?

Enraged and discouraged

Is what I wanted to say

I'm fine, and yourself?

And so the conversation goes on

I hate asking how work is going

You always answer the same

Or in a way that disinterests me

We need to hang out sometime soon

Is what you told me once

And then never specified soon

Are you sleeping

You constantly send me in the middle of the night

I was asleep and didn't see it 'til morning

Good night

The way you end most conversations

In a bland emotionless way

Unless you leave me on read

Which stays that way

Until I start a new conversation

Why do I put up with you?

Is what I want to tell you

Sorry I was sleeping, what are you up to

Is what I normally say instead

Last night you asked me again

Are you sleeping

Something made me not respond

So I left you on read

And the conversation stopped going on

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.
