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.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
