Long Day At Work

Don't let a long day at work break you.

How could it be that there’s no more room,

When your feeling’s no longer matters.

Continuous repeat of work starts to drain you!

And Nothing seems to matter.

Why must my heart pour with tears?

How could this pain last for years?

The ungratefulness, bitterness, and impolite people.

They smile in my face and betray me behind my back.

I speak, but get no response

My passion for this place takes me away

The love I share for everyone keeps me in place.

Although, I don't belong here I need the pay.

Tell me to remain strong

Tell me everything is going to be okay

I’m nearly beaten, out of sight, no mind

I keep pushing. Striving for better.

Because I know who I have become

I will be great one day.

This passion I have interfere with my health

Now I’m crying to someone else

I know if I stay positive, my blessing will come

I keep peace beside me, God within me,

Faith above me, and trust all around me

Time after time I feel let down.

These long days at work tear me apart.

No support, but I keep pushing.

I know that I have to lead.

I see everyone is watching me.

I know that one day it will be done

I know one day I will matter to someone.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
