If The World Was Ending: A Poem

Let's slow down a beat, have our eyes meet.

If The World Was Ending: A Poem
Sabrina Andersonn

If tomorrow was blurry and uncertain

Would unravel your thoughts and pull back the curtain

Talk to me like it's the first time we met

Endless learning of you like no time had been set

Reading your body language

Oh my God how your eyes speak

You have been wondering for a while

Your mind runs faster than your feet

But let's slow down a beat

Have our eyes meet

Time has no say here, please take a seat

If the world was ending

What would you say

If I told you we had less than 24 hours

How much attention would you pay

To things you've lost or the ones you never had

Would you relish in the moment or reflect from the past

If the world was ending

Tell me if you're afraid of what happens next

If this is all over... then no conversation is too complex

When stars are dropping and foundations are collapsing

Clocks have stopped turning and nobody is reacting

While buildings are failing and all the glass shatters

Break down your walls and tell me what really matters

When the skies turn to gray and the sun is more

I pray you found peace with the man who'll stand at the door

I can speak freely, no more pretending

Just for tonight talk to me as

If the world was ending

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!

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.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
