Poetry on Odyssey: Heard it Through the Grape Vine

Music is like Fruit to the Soul

Poetry on Odyssey: Heard it Through the Grape Vine

Turning my music up so loud, that I can't hear the world

All I see would be the music

As I break it apart like grapes off of the vine

Piece by piece

Rift by rift

Experiencing each violin stroke

Every beat on the drum

Just like the berry

The darker it gets

The sweeter it becomes

It is literally music to my ears

Music to my soul

Not realizing where I am

What I am

Nor who I am

Just those grapes on the vine

As I pick and pluck at each crescendo

My heart races

As if it's my heart beat matches the mezzo forte pulse of the silk that flows between my two ears

Rewriting over those fears

Blessing my tears

So now they're from a happier place

This moment right here is the only real thing that matters

I don't feel this worn out couch, where I'm sitting

But I tremble at the treble of the bass that reminds me how to be present

As I bloom, I bring the berries back to the vine

Bringing the parts all together

Realizing how each instrument

Each sound

Each second

Forms this piece of art which you can no longer escape from again.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
