I Left My Petals In Your Bed Last Night

I Left My Petals In Your Bed Last Night

We ate Italian food

Swirled miles of pasta around they way you do

We ate all night


We danced to the music the band was playing

I spun around so fast that, I blossomed into a full rose

We left for your house


We sat in the Taxi, giggling at how the driver loudly sang Frank Sinatra

It was like our very own time capsule

We arrived at your house


We opened a bottle of red wine, something cheap,

I can’t remember

We toasted to how we loved rose’s


We drank more, I noticed the shine in your eye

As I moved my hips to the memory of the taxi man’s music

We drank more


We used the wine as a map

Slowly, I began gliding my finger across the pictures in your hallway

We ended up in your bedroom


We touched each other, slowly

Reading the skin on our lips as a personal invitation

We kissed


We undressed, I let my petals shower the floor

You said you loved me

You said you loved roses


I left my petals in your bed, that night


We made love, again, and again

Until our bodies were one, unable to tell where one began and the other ended

We made love, until the sun was no longer a distant memory


We woke

You said “thanks for last night”


The way you thanked our waiter for our pasta

The way you thanked the taxi man for a ride


I saw you

At the same restaurant,

With a Lily, even though you said you loved Roses


I left my petals in your bed, last night

You said you loved roses

And you loved to undress them, too


I left my petals in your bed, last night

So here’s goodbye

and a fuck you

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
