It's Not Bambi

The meaning behind my tattoo of a deer.

36
It's Not Bambi

It's not Bambi

It's a deer

And it represents what I went through to get here

Fighting everyday

To get away

But there not much else to say

Other than

I'm okay


I can run through this forest as many times as I can

Before I get sick and tired of the same trails

The same land

Wondering every time why I don't take a different path

Because this is the only path

I've taken

For the past

God knows how my years


So no, it's not Bambi

It's a doe

And it represents what I live for

Because a doe will hold her head high

And will thank the sky

For every day she's able to walk by

Herself

And no hunter should hunt her

After seeing

What she's been through

To protect herself

From you


But you still shot her down when she was her most vulnerable

You chased her when she tried to run

You put the arrow right through her heart

And as she laid there

Holding onto her life

You ripped it from her chest

And you killed her


No, it's not Bambi

It's a fawn

Waking up at the crack of dawn

To get away

To find somewhere safe

Because it knows it's hunted

And it lives in fear

But it's learned that is what it's like to be a deer

But it's happy


So no, it's not Bambi

It's me

Because for the first time in years

I am finally fucking free

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
